I'm pretty sure Australia has done this for 40+ years.

We don't have holes at ours (BNE/YBBN) but there is an area with free car parking and a concrete pad on a raised area where you get a pretty good view, and can put a ladder to get an unobstructed view. If there's a really interesting aircraft movement you often get six or seven people with ladders and a whole bunch of others around.
Same at Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY). There's even a guide with a map:

Not in Sydney as far as I know. I'd love a lens portal at the "Planespotting beach" (-33.947075,151.168389)
There's another quite good view at Maho Beach in Saint Martin:
