THE federal government has called on NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell to reconsider his plan to allow residential development under the Canberra Airport flight path, saying it "defies common sense".
The NSW government is set to approve the rezoning of the Tralee housing development, which would see 1000 homes south of Queanbeyan developed over five to six years in a $400 million venture.
Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says the plan would kill off Mr O'Farrell's own plan to use Canberra Airport as a second hub for Sydney.
"Barry O'Farrell has stated he doesn't support a second Sydney airport actually being in Sydney, and the only option he would support is Canberra," Mr Albanese said in a statement.
"Today's decision renders his plan for Canberra as Sydney's second hub farcical and completely contradictory."
The federal government remained opposed to putting new greenfield housing developments under busy flight paths, Mr Albanese said.
"With passenger traffic at Canberra Airport forecast to grow by 36 per cent in the next decade, there will be an average 97 flight movements a day over the Tralee area.
"I have written to the NSW Planning Minister Brad Hazzard asking him to reconsider this decision."
Mr Albanese said it was extraordinary Mr O'Farrell would give the green light to a development that undermined his alternative to a second Sydney airport.
"It defies common sense that he's killed off his own idea, however absurd it might have been in the first place."
