Parafield Airport Master Plan 2017

Parafield Airport’s Master Plan 2017 was approved by the Federal Minster for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development on 19 January 2018.

Based on the timing requirements to submit a new draft Master Plan to the Minister outlined in the Act, the next Master Plan was originally required to be submitted no later than 19 January 2023. However, it was recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic had an extraordinary impact on the aviation and the flight training industry and as such, PAL sought an extension of time from the Minister to submit the next Master Plan.

On 8 September 2021, the then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development granted approval for an extension of 18 months, with the next draft Master Plan to be submitted no later than 18 June 2024. When the draft 2024 Master Plan is approved by the Minister, this will replace the Parafield Airport Master Plan 2017 and will provide the long-term strategic plans for the period through to 2043.
