“Hangar and Office for Wyong Airstrip“ Central Coast Newspapers, 18 July 1973
This article records one of the earliest physical developments associated with the future Warnervale Airport. While previous council decisions had approved the concept of a light aircraft strip, this report documents approval for permanent infrastructure, including a hangar, administration office and amenities building for Wyong Air Services.
The article illustrates that, in 1973, the project was still dependent on approvals from the Department of Civil Aviation and the State Planning Authority, highlighting the regulatory process involved in establishing a new aerodrome. It also reflects Council’s long-term vision for the site, with discussion extending beyond recreational flying to the possibility of passenger, freight and charter operations.
As one of the earliest records of permanent airport facilities being approved, this article marks an important milestone in the transformation of the Pollock Avenue site into what would eventually become Warnervale Airport.
