Council Hosts Stakeholder Engagement Meeting at Ayr Aerodrome

Published on 17 February 2026

Burdekin Shire Council hosted a Stakeholder Engagement Meeting at the Ayr Aerodrome on Wednesday, 11 February, providing an opportunity to engage directly with aerodrome lessees, users and other interested stakeholders.

The meeting enabled Council to share updates on current activities at the aerodrome, gain a clearer understanding of how the facility is being used, and discuss potential opportunities for the future.

The session was intended as an open and constructive forum for information sharing, rather than a decision‑making process.

Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said Council values the opportunity to meet directly with those who use the aerodrome and to hear firsthand about their experiences.

“The Ayr Aerodrome is an important community asset with a lot of untapped potential, and it’s important that Council takes the time to understand how it’s being used now and where there may be opportunities into the future,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

Council recognises the importance of managing its assets in a practical and business‑minded way, balancing operational needs with long‑term sustainability and community benefit.

The stakeholder meeting was not about making decisions or commitments, but about sharing information, hearing a range of perspectives, and building a clearer picture of the aerodrome’s current role and future potential within the region.

Feedback received during the meeting will help inform Council’s ongoing considerations regarding the Ayr Aerodrome and how it is viewed and used now and into the future.
