It doesn't affect me directly since I live well away from Brisbane, but not building a track is disappointing. Anyone interested in cars or bikes is forever getting told they should take them to the track instead of daring to use any real percentage of their capabilities on public roads, but tracks are dwindling across Australia and very few are being built. Next to an airport seems a pretty good place to build one as you're colocating a noisy development with an existing noisy location - hopefully reducing the multitudes of future noise complaints you risk trying to build a track anywhere near where people may build housing in the next few decades.
