Overview
🚩 Note: The page is under development.
The Canberra Airport Group has announced that they are shortening runway 12 via a displaced threshold. Informal information is that it is because of a high-rise car-parking station proposal.
A final-consultation meeting is being held on the 26 to inform the GA LRA permit holders about the works (I do not recall being invited to a first consultation):
To all General Aviation Permit Holders at Canberra Airport Canberra Airport invites you to attend a final consultation meeting for the purposes of briefing you on the program and scope of works to permanently displace the Runway 12 threshold. Changed operational conditions will apply with the permanent displacement of the Runway 12 threshold and, once implemented, will be notified via a PERM NOTAM. Details of the meeting are: DATE: Wednesday, 26 October 2022 TIME: 6.00pm – 8.00pm VENUE: Alastair Swayn Theatre, 33-35 Brindabella Circuit, Brindabella Business Park (map attached) RSVP: Please RSVP to Susan Mulligan on s.mulligan@canberraairport.com.au by COB Friday, 21 October 2022.

prevailing wind
The prevailing wind conditions at Canberra airport.
🚩 Note: the cross-runway is magnetic Runway 30 / 12 and faces into one of the prevailing winds.
- the main runway is magnetic runway 35 / 17.
turbulence
🚩 Note: when the wind is strong and between 060 and 090 (due to the sea-breeze reaching Canberra) is is difficult to land on runway 12[1] because of the turbulence[2][3] caused by the new buildings[4] within the Majura business park. There is also turbulence caused by the high-rise cark-parking station, the Qantas Hangar and the terminal buildings affecting runway 35 and both sets of turbulence are permanent NOTAMs.
Buildings, according to the FAA should be more than 1,5 times their height away from movements areas.
non aviation use
Canberra airport Aviation Infrastructure is being squeezed by non-aviation use[5]
