Runway overlay nearing completion

Crews have been working through the night since June to lay approximately 100 metres of new asphalt each night, totalling over 15,000 tonnes for the project.

The next stage involves adding grooves to enhance friction and drainage, continuing until November 2023. This essential overlay will extend the runway’s lifespan by up to 10-years. The runway lights will also be upgraded to a more efficient LED system.

The project costs $20 million, with $5.54 million provided by the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and the remainder funded through the airport’s Capital Works program.
