Proposal awal dan debat
The provision of an aerodrome in the 1930s has become a point of intense debate in Queenstown, and has moved to build
Aerodrome was built in the late 1930s from funding from the Commonwealth government to city aerodrome
It was used in 1937, but not without difficulty encountered
The initial proposal of regular passenger service to the aerodrome was made in the late 1940s and early 1950s
However, improvements and improvements were recorded in 1940 in order to be obliged for the aerodrome to be licensed for passenger traffic
Claimed that the first passengers landed at the airstrip in 1946
In 1950 serious doubts were being discussed about unreliable weather conditions at the airport. However, in 1953, there were serious proposals to promote licensing for aerodrome for emergency medical transport

Operational era
In 1970, both Queenstown and Strahan airports were open and registered with regular passenger services, and if difficult weather conditions in Queenstown, Strahan would be an alternative landing site. Airlines of Tasmania run the service.
Current status
The airspace is controlled from Melbourne Airport in Victoria. There are currently no regular passenger flights to Queenstown or Strahan from other airports in Tasmania.
The landing landing, though not listed, is owned and controlled by the West Coast board, from whom permission to use must be obtained before landing
