“The airport was built in 1958 and is now in serious need of upgrading to service current and future levels of economic activity in the region as well as meet the needs of ongoing population growth,” said NSW Minister for Regional Development Ian Macdonald.
The airport is adjacent to the Scone Airpark, which is a commercial development aimed at aviation businesses which would have direct access to the runway on the airfield.
