Strengthening a critical regional gateway.

Mildura Airport is Victoria’s busiest regional airport and a vital connection for passengers, freight and essential services across the Sunraysia region.

The upgrade extended and strengthened runway pavements to accommodate heavier aircraft in hot conditions, while improving airfield lighting and runway safety. State and Commonwealth funding supported successive packages of runway, pavement, taxiway and safety works.

Coordinating multiple work packages.

RCP supported the project from early scoping through procurement and delivery, providing specialist programming and oversight across concurrently funded packages.

With different state and federal funding requirements, RCP developed an integrated master programme that brought the works together while maintaining the scope separation needed for reporting and funding compliance.

Delivery was carefully staged around airline schedules and aeromedical access, with programme planning addressing hot-weather paving windows, airfield lighting cutovers, airside access and commissioning.

RCP also provided critical path analysis of tender and contractor programmes, helping coordinate possession windows and keep the airport operational throughout the works.

The completed upgrades strengthened Mildura Airport’s capability, safety and resilience, supporting heavier aircraft and the region’s long-term connectivity.
