12 | Dunedin Airport T T Russell Fredric Airport upgrades span several areas Dunedin Airport has major projects planned to replace ageing infrastructure and improve passenger experience. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT T T to page 14 Dunedin Airport is on the threshold of a significant capital expenditure programme that will inject millions of dollars into the local economy. General manager operations and infrastructure Nick Rodger says the airport currently has several significant projects in progress, with more to come. More than $50 million is earmarked during the next four years for projects designed to replace ageing infrastructure, improve passenger experience and create immediate and long-term efficiencies. Included, are a new wastewater treatment plant, runway rehabilitation, replacing ground lighting with LEDs, and a major landside upgrade. “It’s a direct benefit to the local economy; this is work going straight to local suppliers, design consultants, contractors and many others,” Nick says. The wastewater treatment plant is currently in the design phase, and will be an entirely new standalone infrastructure that will service the airport, all of the businesses on-site, and Momona village. Costing an estimated $10 million-plus, it is aimed to be commissioned late 2026 or early 2027. “We are also in the initial design and option-design phase for a runway rehabilitation, which will be summer 2025/2026. That will see the entire runway strengthened and resurfaced, as well as the replacement of the airfield ground lighting with LEDs.” T: 03 477 5214 E: architect@bakergarden.co.nz W: www.bakergarden.co.nz Pleased to be working with Dunedin Airport Heating • Ventilation • Air-Conditioning • Plumbing & Drainage • Gases • Sheetmetal Fabrication Specialists In: 7 Ward St, Dunedin 9054 P 03 474 0500 W dbcbuildingservices.co.nz Proud to be Partnered with Dunedin Airport Pedersen Read are proud to provide electrical design services for Dunedin Airport 335 Kaikorai Valley Road | P.O.
