The Airport Authority will be making improvements to Runway 07-25 (east-west) from September 16-27.

The runway is required to be closed during construction. All flights will use Runway 14-32, temporarily increasing air traffic over the communities to the north and south of the Airport.

Two major projects will be completed during the construction:

• Replacement of all existing quartz runway edge and end lights with energy efficient LED lights and isolating transformers to reduce our electricity consumption. 
• Improvement of our storm water management with the installation of a storm water infiltration bed off the end of Runway 07 to allow water from the runways and taxiways to infiltrate into the native sandy soils.  

To reduce the impact to operations, and to neighbouring communities, regular maintenance will be scheduled simultaneously, including rubber removal on the runways and line painting.
