Aerodrome Geodata & The Aerodrome Local Ownership Plan (ALOP)

In light of COVID-19, partly because of it or exacerbated by it, the Australian Government has published an issues paper on the Future of Australia’s Aviation Sector with public consultation open until 13 November 2020. The paper is looking at a range of issues and not just COVID-recovery-related topics. They are also looking at regional access, airport regulation and funding.

One section in particular caught my eye and that was looking into the Aerodrome Local Ownership Plan (ALOP) and possible changes designed to free-up local government options. There is an interesting comment in this section that I wanted to explore using data-driven decision making (D3M) and some pretty cool data-visualisation tools that I have recently discovered.
