Quorn Aerodrome Upgrade
The Quorn Aerodrome is now equipped with an illuminated wind direction indicator (windsock), thanks to funding support from the Commonwealth Regional Airports Program and the SA Govt. Support Regional Aviation Program. This funding also supported replacement of the aerodrome’s perimeter fence, which was completed recently.
Coupled with the solar-powered runway lighting, which was installed in 2020 through funding from the Commonwealth Drought Communities Program – Extension, the aerodrome is now safely accessible 24/7.
These improvements would not have been possible without government funding support, valued at $135,125, which is 82.6% of the projects’ combined cost.
In addition, The Flinders Ranges Council was recently approved for grant funding, valued at $231,600, through Round 2 of the Commonwealth Regional Airports Program, which will enable a $463,200 project to seal the runway at the Quorn Aerodrome. On completion of the project, which is scheduled for late 2022, the Quorn Aerodrome will provide private, commercial, and emergency service operators with safe access to the region around the clock, and in all weather conditions.
