 Council's property and project services manager, Daniel Djikic said council was working with all stakeholders to manage the impacts. Asked about emergency situations, Mr Djikic said the relevant combat agencies had been notified and contingency plans would be put in place during the closure. "The airport will still be able to accept rotary wing aircraft in the event of emergencies," Mr Djikic said. Mr McMahon said council looked at night works and rolling closures during the working day but discounted them as options. "Sealing the runway during the day, at the hottest time of the year will provide the best long-term engineering result as warmer temperatures are a key factor for the successful resurfacing of runways," he said.
