Kingaroy Aerodrome Masterplan - Have your say!
2026-07-31 10:00 - 14:00 | Kingaroy Terminal Building, Warren Truss Drive, Taabinga, Warren Truss Drive, Taabinga, QLD, 4610, Australia
South Burnett Regional Council is seeking your input to help shape the long-term future of Kingaroy Aerodrome.
A planned aerodrome is vital not only for serving the community today, but for supporting future economic growth particularly as new and emerging businesses look for efficient ways to move people and products. The Kingaroy Aerodrome Masterplan sets out a vision to guide this growth, addressing both on-aerodrome needs such as safe operations, future expansion, sustainability and compliance, and off-aerodrome planning including how the aerodrome can co-exist with surrounding land uses.
This important document will guide how the airport develops over time, helping Council plan infrastructure and land use while attracting investment and opportunities. Your feedback will play a key role in ensuring the Masterplan reflects community priorities and aspirations.
Date: Friday 31 July 2026
Time: 10.00am to 2.00pm
Venue: Kingaroy Terminal Building, Warren Truss Drive, Taabinga
BBQ Sausage sizzle will be provided from 11.30am to 1.30pm
Have your say survey will be open from Monday 13 July 2026 to Friday 7 August 2026.

Book early and come hungry because this is way more than just a movie night:

• Got dietary needs? Just let us know when you book and we’ll try to sort you out
• You may go home with a great Lucky Door Prize!
There’ll be treats and surprises to make it a night to remember!
