Lismore Aviation Centre

The Lismore Aviation Centre encompasses the general aviation area of Lismore Regional Airport.

The centre is growing and upgrading its amenities to become the most diverse and bustling general aviation centre in the area.

Lismore City Council envisions it as the largest regional aviation hub between Brisbane and Sydney, with passenger services moving to the Gold Coast and Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport.

The Lismore Aviation Centre's onsite general aviation base and maintenance facility are situated on Three Chain Road in South Lismore.

Noise mitigation

The Fly Neighbourly Guideline(PDF, 200KB), developed in collaboration with Lismore Airport operators, prioritises noise reduction while ensuring safety.

The airport operates 24/7 for flight training, medical flights and other aviation businesses, with limited night flights except for urgent medical retrievals.

Noise complaints are handled by Airservices Australia, and you can lodge one or make an inquiry online at their website, by phoning 1800 802 584, or by post to Noise Complaints and Information Services, GPO Box 211, Mascot NSW 1460.

For an independent review, you can turn to the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman.
