Major runway upgrade in 2026

The Method of Working Plan outlines how Lismore Regional Airport will deliver a major upgrade to Runway 15/33 and associated airfield infrastructure. The works include regrading the runway strip, upgrading airfield ground lighting, installing new runway edge and threshold lights, and replacing the existing Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system. These improvements are designed to enhance safety, reliability and operational capability at the airport.

The project will be delivered in stages between January and May 2026 and will require temporary changes to runway and taxiway availability at various times. Aircraft operations will be managed in accordance with strict aviation safety requirements, with works coordinated through formal notifications to pilots and operators. The plan also sets out how safety, environmental conditions, emergencies and inspections will be managed throughout construction to ensure the airport can continue operating safely when works are not underway.
