Linking metropolitan and regional transport centres
The Bathurst Aerodrome is a strategically significant asset for the region, supporting the growth of the Bathurst economy. As a key Infrastructure precinct, it provides an essential aviation hub for training, charter operations, emergency services and logistics activity, strengthening connectivity for local businesses and the wider community.
The aerodrome provides an opportunity for a range of aeronautical businesses to call the city home. Businesses operating out of the Bathurst Aerodrome include a mix of flying schools, maintenance operators, refuelling stations, and charter flight services. A training facility for the Australian Air Force Cadets also operates out of the Bathurst Aerodrome.
In total more than $7 million has been invested in the Bathurst Aerodrome since 2016, including additional space for business operations. The importance of the aeronautical industry on the local economy will increase in the future, with a further $3.8 million being invested at the Bathurst Aerodrome over the next three years. This will include an additional 13,000 sq.m of land available to support locally based aeronautical related businesses.
