Grandiose announcement not matched by reality

Central Coast Council and Premier Baird, in conjunction with Amphibian Aerospace International (AAI), announced a $100m, 240 job, 18,000sqm aircraft factory on a Warnervale Airport in September 2016.

AAI has now submitted a Development Application for a $2.8m, 27 to 37 job, 2,760sqm factory on 0.68ha, a tiny fraction of what was promised. These are the simple facts associated with AAI’s Development Application. As with everything council and airport, the grandiose announcement is not matched by reality and the entire Central Coast is worse off as a result of the deception.
