Real estate company Ashby York has been appointed to oversee the sale of Goulburn Airport, a general aviation facility located between Sydney and Canberra. Situated just 7 km south of Goulburn, Goulburn Airport boasts connectivity to major transport routes, including the M1 motorway, facilitating easy access for aircraft operations and passengers alike.
The airport features a large paved runway alongside a secondary grass runway, accommodating a diverse range of aircraft types. The airport’s infrastructure includes a fully operational motel, café, training centre, aircraft hangars, and various support facilities, offering investors a comprehensive opportunity in the aviation sector.
Goulburn Airport occupies 291 acres (118 hectares) of prime land, with the option to acquire an additional adjoining 1871 acres (757 hectares), providing ample space for expansion and development projects. The existing infrastructure, including a helipad, flight training centre, and fuelling stations, positions Goulburn Airport as a versatile asset ripe for further enhancement.
Moreover, the property offers a unique opportunity for potential investors with its SP2 zoning, designating it as a ‘special purpose’ zone aimed at safeguarding infrastructure and supporting related uses. This zoning underscores the airport’s pivotal role in regional transportation.
An added advantage is the approved 10-lot subdivision adjacent to the taxiway delta, offering block sizes ranging from 520m2 to 1430m2, providing additional avenues for revenue generation and expansion.
Goulburn Airport’s strategic significance has been underscored by previous considerations as a potential freight hub for Canberra. Notably, the airport has invested in sustainable energy solutions with the installation of hybrid wind and solar-powered street light systems, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.
“We are excited to present Goulburn Airport as a premier investment opportunity in the aviation sector,” said Steven Westlake, Principal of Ashby York. “With its strategic location, versatile infrastructure, and development potential, Goulburn Airport is primed for continued success and growth in the regional aviation landscape as well as providing economic regional opportunities for the community.”
