... serviced by the Eagle Farm airport next to Doomben racecourse. (2) Eagle Farm airport not only had the benefit of a much more noise-friendly cross-runway, IT HAD A NIGHT-TIME CURFEW.
What happened?
What happened?
Eagle Farm airport had a curfew due to noise pollution over residential areas. When Eagle Farm closed, @BrisbaneAirport opened in its current location with no curfew imposed. What is now called the Legacy runway brought aircraft in over (then as yet undeveloped) Murarrie.

Re #Brisbane, Labor has taken the lead on primaries in the race for second. But micro preferences will favour Greens significantly and I don't think Labor gets enough lead. A fair chance that we see a winner from third on primaries here.
kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2022/05/2022-h…
kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2022/05/2022-h…
People might think UAP and ON prefs would help Labor more than the Greens but the problem with that is that the LNP is still in the throw, drawing dead but soaking up the right-wing side of those prefs. What's left includes some voters who just hate the majors.
One thing that gives Labor a chance in Brisbane is the higher rate at which postals are coming back than normal. If their current rate of gain continues across all the postals, Labor could still just have enough to win. I doubt it will though. Will be interesting to see.
Here are some standout rain and flood statistics from the past fortnight in eastern Australia.
This was a VERY rare event for some areas, with an annual exceedance probability (AEP) of between 0.1 and 0.05%.
AEP = probability of exceeding a rain/flood level in a given year.🧵
This was a VERY rare event for some areas, with an annual exceedance probability (AEP) of between 0.1 and 0.05%.
AEP = probability of exceeding a rain/flood level in a given year.🧵
#Brisbane's 676.8 mm in 72 hours was a new three-day rain record for the city, with data going back to 1840. This 72-hour rain rate has an annual exceedance probability of 0.2 to 0.5% (1-in-200 to 1-in-500 year event) in Brisbane.
Doon Doon in NSW copped 1040 mm in 48 hours. That's more than one metre of rain in two days! This rain rate, in this part of NSW, has an annual exceedance probability of between 0.1 and 0.05% (1-in-1000 to 1-in-2000 year event).

3/ The plan exposes kids to MUCH greater risk of COVID than it should. As far as I'm aware NONE of the local public schools have been assessed for adequate ventilation, no HEPA units have been purchased, it's set up for failure
