Any person who seeks to establish or any licence holder who seeks to expand an Aerodrome, shall prepare in accordance with such requirements as shall be prescribed by the Minister, a Master Plan which shall identify and provide for :—
the development of physical facilities of the
Aerodrome, both aviation and non-aviation;
the development of land use for areas surrounding an Aerodrome;
the assessment of the effect the construction and operation of the Aerodrome will have on the environment;
access requirements of the Aerodrome; and
security aspects of the Aerodrome and the cost and financial outlay of the project.
The establishment or expansion, as the case may be, of an Aerodrome, shall not commence until the Master Plan in respect of the same has been approved by the Authority.
The Authority shall before it approves a Master Plan, consult any other statutory authority where it considers such consultation appropriate or necessary and whose views and observations on the proposed establishment or expansion and its effect on environment and any other factor, needs to be considered before such Master Plan is approved.
An approval granted under subsection (2), shall be subject to such terms and conditions and to the payment of a fee as determined by the Authority. The Authority shall cause a Notice relating to any approval granted, to be published in the Gazette.
A copy of the approved Master Plan, other than the information referred to in paragraph (e) of subsection (1), shall be kept in the office of the Authority and be made available to the public for inspection, on payment of a fee as may be determined by the Authority.
The Authority may from time to time where it considers necessary or on the request of the person to whom approval was granted under subsection (2), require a Master Plan to be reviewed or evaluated and appropriate modifications or adjustments made thereto, to address any changes that may have taken place since the approval of such Master Plan.
