New airport commercial hub on its way

A NEW business park planned for Bendigo Airport has entered its expression of interest phase with businesses and developers from either Greater Bendigo or outside the region invited to submit an application for one of nine lots up for lease.

The lots range from 600 square metres to 1357 square metres in size and feature road frontage, service connections and access to the airport for freight and passenger traffic.

Due to the highly visible and prominent location next to the airport, businesses will be required to provide “aesthetically appropriate” infrastructure on each site via an approved planning and building permit.

City of Greater Bendigo’s manager economy and experience James Myatt said the park is in a prime location within the landside area of the airport, providing businesses the chance to become part of a thriving commercial hub.

“The airport precinct in East Bendigo is strategically well positioned with the potential for strong investment returns,” Mr Myatt said.

“This business park is designed to complement the recent airport terminal development, which has increased capacity and created additional business opportunities to support regional growth.

“I encourage businesses and developers to submit an expression of interest and tell us how the airport business park will benefit your business.”

Six additional lots of vacant land are expected to be released sometime in the future and expansion into these will be considered for the right business proposals.

Applications are due to close on Tuesday 11 March.
