Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss announced today that he has approved Jandakot Airport's 2014 Master Plan.
The Master Plan sets out the airport's strategic direction and details the intended uses for the airport site for the next 20 years.
“The Jandakot Airport site, south of Perth, currently supports 1150 direct jobs and is responsible for $61 million in export revenue for the Western Australian economy,” Truss said.
“The Master Plan I approved today will support 8050 employees, across 300 businesses, equating to $420 million in salaries over the 20-year life of the blueprint.
“Jandakot Airport has affirmed its commitment to aviation by investing in significant aeronautical developments, including a proposed fourth runway, taxiway works and runway end safety areas.”
The Preliminary Draft Master Plan included provisions to build a parallel runway to the existing 12/30 for circuit training.
Jandakot Airport now has 50 days to make the Master Plan public.
