Background Emerald Airport, owned and operated by Central Highlands Regional Council (CHRC), is located southeast of the town of Emerald, in the Central Highlands region of Queensland. The airport supports regular public transport (RPT) and closed charter services by Fokker F- 100, Dash 8-400 and ATR-72 aircraft to and from Brisbane operated by Alliance, QantasLink and Virgin Australia respectively, other closed charters services operated by a number of smaller operators well as air freight services, general aviation, private and aeromedical operations. Unprecedented and increasing demand for aviation and aviation-related services in the region has led to a requirement to plan for the progressive and affordable upgrade of Emerald Airport. CHRC therefore seeks a suitably experienced and qualified Consultant to prepare the Emerald Airport Master Plan 2012. 2. Scope of Services 2.1. Purpose The purpose of the Master Plan is to establish a framework for the future planning and development of Emerald Airport to ensure the Central Highlands region achieves its strategic objectives and capitalises on the aeronautical and commercial opportunities provided by the airport. The Master Plan is intended to establish the basis for more detailed studies of design, infrastructure planning, land use planning and environmental impacts required to achieve the strategic direction.

  • (AAA) - Submission to Commonwealth Budget 2019-20
    Department of the Treasury Langton Crescent PARKES ACT 2600 E: [email protected] 1 February 2019 Australian Airports Association (AAA) - Submission to Commonwealth Budget 2019-20 Dear Minister, I am writing to you in relation to the upcoming Commonwealth Budget for 2019-20 and would like to bring the critical issue of regional airport infrastructure funding to your attention. By way of background, the Australian Airports Association (AAA) is the national industry voice for airports in Australia. The AAA represents the interests of more than 340 airports and aerodromes Australia wide – from local country community landing strips to major international gateway airports. The AAA’s members include Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, Hobart, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney airports. There are a further 150 corporate members who provide goods and services to airports. The Charter of the AAA is to facilitate co-operation among all member airports and their many and varied partners in Australian aviation, whilst maintaining an air transport system that is safe, secure, environmentally responsible and efficient for the benefit of all Australians. In October 2017, the AAA launched its Protect Regional Airports campaign, highlighting the important role regional airports play in this country by supporting exports, providing employment and developing tourism. The campaign also identified a number of the unique challenges regional airports face, including wildlife issues, historic and outdated lighting and poor surfaces. This campaign includes express support and endorsement from several independent third-party organisations, including the Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS), Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA), Australian Logistics Council (ALC) and the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA).
