The facility is really taking shape!

The Air Ambulance Patient Transfer Facility at the Bairnsdale airport is progressing well, with significant milestones already achieved.

The contractor has completed a large portion of the civil works, both airside and landside, and construction of the facility is now underway.

The steel framework is in place, giving shape to the new building. Roof panel installation is scheduled for next week, followed by the fitting of wall portals. Preparations for asphalting the taxiway apron and car park are ongoing, with completion expected by the end of April 2025.

Additionally, we plan to address urgent maintenance on a nearby taxiway, aiming to complete this work alongside Air Ambulance Victoria’s scheduled sealing works. This approach will enhance safety and minimise disruption for aviation users.
