In 2019 we applied for and were successful in attaining regional airfields development funding to help upgrade our airfield.

We put automatic runway lighting on, extended the overruns, as well as the clearing to the sides.

This improved safety for aircraft, but it’s also to make sure that we can access emergency services, like the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

This means that during an emergency situation aircraft can land 24/7 at Prenti Downs.

The Designation for the Prenti Downs Airstrip is YPNI; Runways are 18/36 Caution is advised as the cross-strip is for station use only.
