17.01.2022 Hi All Just reminding everyone that the club would like the attendance of as many people as possible to the gingin Shire meeting this Tuesday the 20th of October at 2.45pm for the shire meeting due to start at 3.00pm sharp. Once again the officer is not recomending the approval for the use of Gingin North Airstrip and this time actually states that they intend to use the airstrip as offsets for road widenings.... See the attached link starting at page 275 https://www.gingin.wa.gov.au//agenda-ordinary-meeting-of-c This airstrip is an important asset with a cost in 1943 of approximately 150000 Aussie Pound it was constructed at the same time Bindoon Airstrip was constructed . From the picture below which is the original drawings produced for main Rd that I dug up in the state records office you can see the diagrams of the hardstandings. These in general are mainly still intact although the hardstandings are not owned by the shire. Please get up there and support your club and aviation community so this council does not destroy this airstrip and an important part of our aviation safety network Those that are going please put going as a comment so we can get a feel for the numbers Please invite any interested party that will support us With thanks Mick

09.01.2022 Hi Club members I am writing to you to ask you to please set aside this date and Time Tuesday 20th of October at 3.00 pm sharp. This is the day our request to use Gingin North (beermullah )airstrip goes to council for consideration. To date I must say that certain officers on the council have been unsupportive of our application mainly because their is an agenda by that section of council to use the airfeild as an offset for bushland requirements in relation to road wideni...ng. The excuses that have been used to date are as follows From the CEO The airstrip is unsuitable for use incorrect as we have emails from CASA stating it is suitable The airstrip has no required fences again airstrips don't need to be fenced according to CASA The airstrip has no car access Again why do we need car access other than to maintain the strip ,we fly in and fly out and car access can be easily done by 4WD And the list of excuses goes on and on. So I am imploring you to join us at the council meeting at 3 pm an make your feelings know to these officers so as we can successfully gain access to this airstrip and protect its heritage value well into the future Please share this with all you aviation friends the more the merrier

04.01.2022 Hi All Yesterday I was able to followup on a lead given to me by RAAFWA museum,this led me to the Main Rds Construction drawings of Gingin North please see attached ,for those interested I have digitised the complete record including a notice to airmen (not for this strip but the strip at the Turf club in gingin ),notice the number 2 in the details box. Very interesting keep watching this space for more news in the next few days ,the old dog is about to teach a younger dog a trick or too Lol
