Whitsunday Regional Council is receiving $225,000 to upgrade Collinsville Airstrip

Whitsunday Regional Council has been successful in receiving $225,000 as part of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program. The Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program is part of the Australian Government's Regional Aviation Access Program. The funding received by Whitsunday Regional Council will be used to upgrade the 1402metre runway in Collinsville to ensure safe and operational aerodromes are available to access.

“The Albanese Government knows that remote aerodromes make a major difference to the communities they serve, by keeping Australians connected to each other and to critical services such as healthcare, and getting goods in and out in a timely manner.

“The investments from this program show the continuing commitment of the Albanese Government to deliver the infrastructure that regional Australia needs.”
