Ballarat Aerodrome

Ballarat's Aerodrome is well equipped to meet regional needs, and will be developed to accommodate future regional and interstate demand.

The Ballarat Aerodrome is easily accessible, located seven kilometres north-west of the city centre on 476 hectares of land, and less than one kilometre from the Western Freeway.

Infrastructure at the Airport consists of three runways, two taxiways, a 30,000m2 apron, five hangers with direct apron access, a 150m2 terminal building, other commercially leased buildings, two refuelling facilities, a non directional beacon and an automatic weather station.

The facilities at the Ballarat Aerodrome support a number of commercial aviation enterprises including, aerial agriculture, corporate charter, recreational charter, aircraft support services, and recently the establishment of an international pilot training school.

With funding assistance from the State Government, the Ballarat Airport will receive general infrastructure improvements, including underground fibre optic cabling and the upgrade to the electrical supply.

Iprovements to the aerodrome precinct will attract logistics companies and other industrial activities to the region. There may be an opportunity to develop a second cluster of innovative industries through the development of a business park, particularly for those seeking land ownership and development opportunities.

The potential development opportunities are currently being investigated by the City of Ballarat.
