Well yes, but it's suburban right up to the fence all around.
I think the first jet operator into there will raise so much airport noise that it won't last long even if it gets off the ground (sorry
).
Apart from which the runway alignment in combination with Mascot has it's own issues with high performance aircraft, it may not represent a real increase in the capacity of the Sydney Basin.
The real alternative is more like what they did when Tullamarine opened, a new airport miles from anywhere with well advertised noise impact areas.
That does really restrict the choices in the Sydney area, either north or SW along the current high capacity highways.
