Truss approves Camden Master Plan
23 Dec 2015

Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss has approved the 2015 Camden Airport Master Plan.

Camden Airport submitted the plan to the Deputy Prime Minister for consideration in October.

“The Master Plan sets out Camden Airport's strategic direction for the next 20 years and provides the community with information about the operation and development of the site,” Truss said.

“Camden Airport is an important part of the General Aviation network in NSW, particularly supporting recreational and training flights. 

“Over the next 20 years aircraft movements are predicted to increase from around 94,000 movements in 2014 to around 112,000 in 2034.

“The Plan seeks to support the long term sustainability of the aviation industry within the Sydney Basin. This is consistent with the Australian government's strategic planning for aviation in the Sydney Region, including the recent announcement of Badgerys Creek as the location for an airport in Western Sydney."

The 2015 Master Plan ensures aviation remains the core business at Camden and proposing a new taxiway naming protocol and the placement of Movement Area Guidance (MAG) signs on the airfield.

There are no major airport developments within the life of the 2015 plan, but includes a proposal to relocate the Australian Aviation Museum from Bankstown to Camden within the next five years.

Camden Airport must now publish their final master plan within 50 business days.
