Airfield Health and Safety

Runway Safety

Runway safety is everyone's responsibility. We ask all users to help us to minimise runway incursions by keeping pedestrians away from the operational areas, particularly the runways, and to keep dogs on leads at all times.

Currently there are approximately 90 hangars at the airfield. All hangars are privately owned and built on land leased from the Council.

Note: not all hangars are suitable for helicopters - please check with the Council.
