An analysis of access related factors which could affect future major airport development in the Sydney region. Recommendation and costings for alternative surface access strategies associated with future airport development.

Provides technical advice on airport sites and layouts for a second Sydney airport (SSA); airport layouts for Kingsford Smith airport (KSA); and cost data for each option including airport construction, airport use and Defence facilities relocation costs.

Identifies the effects that may result from the establishment of new controlled airspace and the rearrangements of aircraft routes which that may entail for a major civil airport.

Presents an outline of the conditions currently prevailing at Bankstown, and to highlight the feasible development options to increase flight capacity. It also offers comments on the value of pursuing such options.

Address given by Mr Groat, Project Director, in December 1978 to set out the process used to evaluate and assess the various analysis streams and collate them into a set of rational, logical airport development strategies.

Evaluation of the strategies under a range of different scenarios (conditions or assumptions directly concerned with the provision of and demand for airport capacity) given a set of parameters. Does not evaluate social benefit due to lack of suitable data.

Environmental analysis of a wide range of possible airport options, the results of which would provide information relating to each option, and the impact of an airport development on the existing environment at each site alternative.

Identifies major differences in the financial impact of each MANS study airport srategy. Analysis was a strategic planning level and covers the period to year 2010. established a financial preference ranking for KSA and SSA options and overall strategies.

Estimates of possible future levels of aviation activity in the Sydney region in order to identify as far as possible likely future trends in the demand for regular public air transport.

Considers general aviation (GA) activity and its interaction with likely future scheduled airline requirements in teh Sydney region.
