$2.37 Million Access Road Project Approved for Port Macquarie Airport
What happened
A $2.37 million, 800-meter sealed two-lane access road was announced for Port Macquarie Airport. This project, which is expected to take about two years, will include drainage, fencing, lockable gates, and road safety signs. The federal government pledged over $1.1 million through the Disaster Ready Fund, a figure that the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council is matching.

Why it matters
The new road is designed to ensure people can still use Port Macquarie Airport during flooding events. It will help maintain essential deliveries and emergency operations, including supporting the planned NSW Air Ambulance base. This infrastructure upgrade improves the operational resilience and connectivity of the airport.
Councils in Port Macquarie and Kempsey Shire are currently delivering various road upgrade projects, with a Minister commenting on transport connections.
