“For too long, regional aviation infrastructure development has lagged, stifling the delivery of satisfactory air services for our regions. This is certainly the case here in Bendigo, where there is a demand for access by larger aircraft, however the outdated infrastructure means services are restricted to small aircraft,” Victorian Minister for Aviation Industry Gordon Rich-Phillips announced.
“These upgrades essentially future-proof Bendigo airport, clearing the way for further investment and development of the facility.”
