PUBLIC WORKS &

Dubbo Regional Airport

Dubbo Regional Airport is a major

point of difference for Dubbo amongst

comparable regional centres. Annual

passenger numbers now exceed

190,000, and Dubbo passengers can

fly daily on numerous flights to/from

Sydney, but also most days to/from

Brisbane, Melbourne and Broken Hill.

Council’s last major upgrade in 2014

saw $3million spent on upgrading and

extending the terminal, and doubling

the carparking capacity adjacent to

the terminal. Development continues

at the Airport, however, with a further

$7 million to be spent commencing

later in 2016 on strengthening the

main runway to permit the operation

of larger aircraft from the Airport in

future years.

The Parks of Dubbo are of

Regional Importance As

Well

Tourism is a big part of Dubbo’s

economy and the City’s capability

to host large sporting carnivals

and events has long been known.
