DAM CAMPGROUND AND AERODROME CLOSED FOR UPGRADES

Visitors to Burdekin Falls Dam will be unable to access the caravan park, campground and day-use area until mid-December, while improvement works are carried out.

Sunwater closed the facilities on Friday, 16th October, with the temporary closure expected to remain in place until mid-December 2026.

‍

The boat ramp will remain open during the works, subject to dam conditions.

‍

Meanwhile, Ayr Aerodrome’s sealed runway is closed until Friday, 23rd October, for essential upgrade works.

Burdekin Shire Council said the closure would allow for a full runway reseal to improve the safety, reliability and longevity of the aerodrome’s infrastructure.

‍

The grass cross strip will remain operational during the closure.

The runway works are funded through the Australian Government’s Regional Airports Program.
