Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd 2015 Hobart International Airport Master Plan | iForewordForewordWe are pleased to present Hobart Airport s 2015 Master Plan.

2 The 2015 Plan outlines and reflects Hobart Airport s vision for growth and the delivery of strategic infrastructure to meet demand and to better connect Tasmania with the rest of Australia and the world. In 2016 Hobart Airport will celebrate 60 years of operations. As the Hobart and Tasmanian community continue to grow, so will the demand for air transport for both passengers and freight. Since its privatisation in 1998 Hobart Airport has grown from 856,000 to million passengers per year. By 2020 we are expecting to welcome an additional half a million passengers per year and more than four and a half million per year by 2035. To be able to support the growth of the Tasmanian economy and meet the expectations of our passengers and partners, Hobart Airport will undertake two transformative projects over the next five year period.

3 These projects will significantly redefine the Airport and provide new economic opportunities for the State. The construction of a 500m runway extension will enable direct flights from Tasmania to South-East Asia for passenger and freight opportunities and allow for expansion of current Antarctic operations. The redevelopment of the Airport s passenger terminal will offer an improved experience for Airport visitors and cater for projected growth and enable International passenger processing. These projects will enable operation of direct flights to Asia for tourism, the export of time sensitive products (including key produce exports) and will enable increased logistic opportunities for Antarctic operations for both Australia and other Nations operating research programs in East Master Plan also provides plans for the continued development of the Airport s non-aviation activities, which underpin the long term economic viability of Hobart Airport and complement its key aviation role, and for the protection of areas of environmental significance on the Airport site.

4 In addition, the 2015 Master Plan addresses key matters facing the Airport including how it interacts with important road networks such as Tasman Highway and the need to be vigilant in ensuring the unhindered long term operation at Hobart Airport . Importantly, the plans provided in the 2015 Master Plan will allow Hobart Airport to build upon the foundations it has developed over the past 60 years and reinforce the role of the Airport as a critical piece of State infrastructure and an essential part of the Tasmanian community. Hobart Airport s vision for the next 20 years is to be Tasmania s premier Airport providing a boutique experience for our visitors and an economic hub that delivers opportunity and growth for the Tasmanian Community. With the support of our stakeholders and partners we will continue to grow and operate Hobart Airport in a responsible manner.

5 Every five years the Airport develops a Master Plan; this plan is the way we clearly communicate our plans with the community and key stakeholders.
