Statement on ownership of Norfolk Island International Airport
I want to address community concerns about the Norfolk Island Regional Council’s recent report
on options for the management of the airport.
Under the administration arrangements for Council, NIRC is required to address the
recommendations made in the 2020 independent audits and 2021 public inquiry. One of these
recommended the transfer of ownership and management of the airport to the Commonwealth.
Administrator Mike Colreavy has now presented a proposal on this matter.
