The Albanese Government will invest $2.68 million to revitalise the Flinders Island Airport and ensure the continuation of reliable air services to this regional community.
As the primary gateway for tourism and business, the airport plays a vital role for the island's economy and community.
The project will improve the safety and capacity of the airport. Works will include construction of a new operations office that will house the airport's electrical systems and other essential operational infrastructure.
Runway lighting and electrical infrastructure will also be brought into the 21st century, ensuring the airport can continue to facilitate night landings.
This will boost economic growth and tourism potential in the region by attracting more visitors and increasing business opportunities.
The project is being funded under Round 2 of the Growing Regions Program, which invests in priority community and economic infrastructure across regional, rural and remote Australia.
