History
Built in 1948, at the site of the new town of Halls Creek, which wasn't actually relocated to from the old down until the 1950s. It began with 3 unsealed gravel runways, with the third closing in the 1980s or 1990s. In 1997 the main runway 04/22 was sealed. The second runway, 08/26 remains unsealed to this day. During the 1970s a radio tower was present north of the airport beside the fuel facility. This was later removed and an NDB (Non-Directiona Beacon) was built to the northwest of the airport. In 2010, a new NDB was built to the east of the main runway 04/22 which is still there today. In 2015 a weather station was built at the airport, operated by the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) as well as a wind profiler to the north of the unsealed runway. ==See also==
