Brisbane: Work starts on new Aviation facility

Construction on the new $10 million Aviation Australia campus at Brisbane Airport has begun, with the building contract awarded to ADCO.
Due for completion in early 2016, the new 5,000m² facility will replace and expand the current corporate office, providing 20 new lecture rooms, a technical training centre and café.
The development will be a significant expansion to Aviation Australia’s base at Brisbane Airport, which includes an existing training centre and airside hangar, taking the total lease area to approximately 19,000m². Mr Horrocks said the new facility will include CareFlight’s Helicopter Emergency Services (HEMS) Academy with Australia’s first Augusta Westland 139 helicopter full flight simulator, delivered as part of partnership with Thales, a global technology leader in the aerospace, transportation and defence and security markets.
