Between 1996 and 2007, the previous government sold some 290 properties. They earmarked for disposal or sale facilities such as RAN ammunition depot, Sommerton; North Head Barracks; Jezzine Barracks, Townsville; Kelvin Grove training facility; and Torrens training depot—plus a raft of other properties. The closure of RAAF Glenbrook was a decision of the previous government and it will be closed next year. The Rudd government has disposed of a further 12 properties since 2007, and I can say that four properties are expected to be listed on the market early next year. The Pappas report has recommended further savings through the ‘super base’ model, and the government understands that there are wider strategic and social ramifications to be considered.
