Not at this point but I would have to read the relevant arguments before making a commitment.

kind regards

I believe the existing airport is now too close to residential development.  A more suitable site should be looked for further North so the landing and taking off nuisance is much less.  The airport could however be kept for small aircraft use.  The major initial pressure for commercial use of the airport was the very long time it took to get from Albany to the main airport.  My transport policy directly addresses that and within 5-6 years an elevated new mode passenger transport system would allow  a trip from Albany to the airport to be made in 45 minutes.  I believe this would reduce the need for commercial use of Whenuapei airfield.  Detail on my transport policies can be found on www.chapmanformayor.co.nz  and www.elections2010/candidates/Hugh Chapman.

Hi Terry,

I\'ve answered this question in the questions and answers page of my website however to sum up for you, I believe that when it comes to issues like this, it should be up to the local boards to make local decisions as they are the ones who have a better knowledge of their area and the outcomes the residents of that area are after.

well terry as a pilot myself i think whenuapai is  a great airport, but it is a defence force airport first ,maybe further down the track it may be an option, but i think the best thing to do is sort out auckland airport first with transport solutions to and from auckland airport, as long as whenuapai is kept as a port and not developed into housing , auckland maybe able to keep it as a backup airport oor assett
