Project extension

14 February 2023

Council has received a project timeline extension to June 2024. The variation allows time to for the master planning process and to carry out the complex land acquisition process.

Following the announcement of $12.5M for a runway extension, lighting and other improvements proposed under the Tumut Aerodrome Stage 2 Infrastructure Improvement project, as well as a new Fire Control Centre (FCC) proposed for NSW Rural Fire Service at Tumut Aerodrome, Council recognised that the 2015 Tumut Aerodrome Master Plan would need to be updated. Council engaged Aviation Projects to incorporate these new developments and other demands on the site into a new Master Plan for Tumut Aerodrome.

The Master Plan will be considered for placement on public exhibition by Council at the 16 February Council Meeting.

The land issues will be considered by Council in a confidential report of the same meeting.
