Hood plans aim to capitalise on infrastructure work

Exciting plans to increase hangar space at Hood Aerodrome are underway to maximise the benefit of infrastructure improvements underway at the aerodrome.

A new space adjacent to the runway has been earmarked for a mix of fully and partially services hangar sites of varying sizes.

There is further potential for more commercial development, as well as an area protected for possible future terminal expansion.

The plans include potential changes on Moncrieff Drive, where space has been identified for future commercial or visitor attractions. Read the media release on the plans.

The diagram below is the concept plan. A larger version of the diagram can be viewed here.

Hood Aerodrome Project Overview

In 2020, following an application to the Government stimulus funding for shovel-ready projects, a total of $10 million in funding was secured to upgrade the safety features and infrastructure of the aerodrome. This Government funding was secured on the basis of $7 million of Council co-funding, to provide a total of $17 million for the project.

With much of the main infrastructure work well underway or complete, the project will have delivered:

water, wastewater and electrical upgrades and extension to support hangar development
development of access roads to support hangar development
runway resurfacing and widening
apron expansion
in-fill of drain on eastern side of the sealed runway
upgrade/replace airfield fixtures (lighting, windsock, etc)
upgrade/installation of security fencing (to meet CAA Qualification Certification requirements)

This work will support the aerodrome to meet CAA Qualification Certification.
