Brendan Small
Liberal for Dobell
An elected Dutton Liberal Government will commit $10 million to expand and resurface the airstrip at Warnervale Airport on the New South Wales Central Coast.
Shadow Minister for Finance, Senator Jane Hume said this investment will support the diversification of the Warnervale Airport and help boost economic activity in the region.
“Warnervale Airport is a prime location to expand to meet increased demand for general aviation services to capitalise on the Liberal Party’s investments in the new Western Sydney International Airport.
“The Liberals are planning for this expected growth in aviation activity by committing $10 million to upgrade the airstrip at Warnervale Airport to accommodate the needs of businesses looking to move their operations to the Central Coast.
“By investing in the growth of Warnervale Airport, the Liberals are investing in more and higher skilled jobs coming to Dobell and enhancing the region’s ability to attract other industries and businesses to the region.”
Liberal for Dobell, Brendan Small said the Central Coast is the perfect location for aviation businesses to establish themselves if they want to operate clear from Western Sydney flight paths.
“The Coalition’s commitment to upgrade the Warnervale Airport airstrip will provide a significant boost to helping the airport grow and generate new jobs in aviation across the Central Coast.
“It is understood there are around 157 aviation businesses considering relocating their enterprises and Warnervale is a preferred option if the airport facilities and runway are suitable to handle the aircraft.
“There is land available for businesses to expand and plenty of opportunity in this region,” Mr Small said.
