Hangar 83, 14 Bristol Street
UPDATE: 2 AUG 2024, 9.30am - OVERVIEW & ACCESS INFORMATION
Consistent with the approved 2013 Essendon Fields Master Plan, a new hangar facility is being developed at 14 Bristol Street on the Airport Southern Apron. The new facility will be used for the repair, maintenance and overhaul of aircraft.
Project works will include removal of existing pavement, site strip and in ground services, followed by construction of the aircraft maintenance facility. The project will also involve airside works including an upgraded apron.
Whilst we deliver these works, you may notice increased activity on the site, including increased noise from construction works. Measures will be put in place to minimise disruption to local businesses, including implementing dust suppression strategies during the initial earthworks.
To ensure the safety of road users during the project works, traffic conditions around the project site will be adjusted to accommodate construction deliveries and activities. To provide pedestrian safety, the footpath in front of the site will be closed, with diversions clearly marked to ensure safe street crossing.
Temporary fencing will be erected around the entirety of the site with shade cloth installed to manage dust and debris. The fence around the Airside Construction Area will be a key focus for us to ensure we maintain aviation safety and security. That fence will be fixed to the pavement to prevent any issues due to wind disturbance.
We thank you for your patience and look forward to delivering this new development, which will continue to create aviation employment opportunities in the Essendon Fields area.
