OOL Bad Weather

Why isn't an ILS installed on runway 14 at Gold Coast Airport? Could one operate with the dog leg approach over Burleigh Heads?

They don't have room for one at the foot of runway 14. They have the sports park, but on from that is residential areas. If there is a way to still implement ILS whilst sparing the houses, then go ahead and install it! It really should be a priority on the airport's list, as it is getting busier and busier.

Even though OOL isn't dominated by adverse weather conditions, it would still be great if runway 14/32 received ILS.

There isn't (I couldn't find) any provision for an ILS to be installed in the Gold Coast Airport Master Plan.

14 will never have an ILS. The big hill on approach is the problem.
