Barwon Heads Airport (
The airport has remained small and undeveloped until recently, where development is soon to commence.[when?] In early 2008, a local council permit was given to construct another five hangars and associated car parking.[4]
The airport has a flight training school with two classrooms, fuel facilities and a seafood outlet. A shower and toilets are located in the terminal building, where there is also a kitchen, snack and drink machines and a lounge area.[5]
The airport has two runways, the main one is a sealed north–south runway, and there is a smaller east/west grass runway, primarily for ultralight aircraft, and light aircraft in stronger wind conditions
