Council lands runway extension approval: Bega Valley
Airlines will soon be able to land larger aircraft at Merimbula airport thanks to runway extension plans given the green light by the Southern Regional Planning Panel last week.
Bega Valley Shire Mayor, Russell Fitzpatrick said the approval starts a series of major civil works at the airport aimed at increasing visitor numbers to the shire.
“Securing the services of two major airlines was a big win for the area, and with Southern Regional Planning Panel approval, we can begin to fully maximise the potential of this upgraded facility,” Cr Fitzpatrick said.
