it is not generally the case that runways or parts of runway surfaces need to be overlaid, resurfaced or replaced, but maintenance action should be taken to address the formation of depressions or surface irregularities that allow water to pool, pond, or not drain.

CHAPTER 19 COMMUNICATION, NAVIGATION, SURVEILLANCE (CNS) AND METEOROLOGICAL (MET) FACILITIES

Division 1 General

Note   CNS and MET facilities at an aerodrome may include all or any of the following:

(a) Radio navigation facilities, including the following: ILS, DME, VOR, NDB, GBAS;
   (b) surveillance sensor sites, including radar, automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B) and multi‑lateration systems;
   (c) air-ground and point-to-point communications systems including radio bearer systems and satellite communications sites;
(d) air traffic services centres;
(e) ATC towers;
(f) meteorological facilities including transmissometers.

19.01 General

       (1) An aerodrome operator must refer to the CNS or MET service provider, for a hazard and impact assessment, any application for development mentioned in sections 19.04 to 19.15 of this MOS that would be:

(a) within the aerodrome boundary; and

(b) near, or likely to affect, an existing CNS or MET facility.

Note 1   The assessment by the CNS or MET service provider will need to determine if the building restricted area for the relevant facility would be infringed by the development, and what hazards may result if the development application proceeds.

Note 2   CASA recommends that the aerodrome operator monitor, and advise the relevant CNS or MET service provider of, any application for development mentioned in sections 19.04 to 19.15 of this MOS that would be outside the aerodrome boundary, but near, or likely to affect, an existing CNS or MET facility.

       (2) An aerodrome operator must consult the relevant CNS or MET service provider to ensure that:

(a) adequate provision is made in establishing restricted areas near the CNS or MET facility; and

(b) there is adequate control of vehicles and aircraft operations near the CNS or MET facility.

Note   Control measures may include the use of markers or signage as agreed between the CNS or MET service provider and the aerodrome operator.

       (3) An aerodrome operator must consult the relevant CNS service provider:

(a) to determine the distance that aerodrome roadways, runways, taxiways and any public roads provided by the aerodrome operator may be constructed from a radio navigation facility; and

(b) to ensure that unauthorised personnel and vehicles are kept clear of the facility; and

(c) to ensure as far as possible that grazing livestock are kept clear of the facility; and

(d) to ensure as far as possible that any suitable materials provided by the aerodrome operator are used in constructing the facility's perimeter fencing and warning signs, bearing in mind that non-metallic materials are
