$15M FOR PORT AIRPORT UPGRADE

The federal government has given the green light for the Port Macquarie airport upgrade, allocating $15-million to the project.

The upgrade will allow the airport to cater for larger jet aircraft, by extending the runway to 1,800 metres and strengthening the pavement.

Port Macquarie-Hastings Council will chip in the remaining $10-million.

Under the regional aviation plan, Taree and Kempsey airports will also receive $4-million, which will go towards improving aviation training and aircraft maintenance.
