The History of Shepparton Airport in Victoria
In February 1956, Southern Airlines commenced the first air service from Essendon Airport to Shepparton using a De Havilland Dove aircraft. During this same year, the aerodrome was forced to close down for several months due to floods which resulted in the cancellation of the air service to Essendon. After the 1956 floods, the aerodrome committee undertook extensive works to upgrade the aerodrome to an all weather facility.
During 1967, the main runway 18/36 was sealed to a distance of about 760m from the northern end stopping short of the east west runway. The remaining section of the main runway and the east west runway was grass.
The main runway and east west runway were fully constructed and the remainder of the main runway sealed during the period 1970-72, with the east west runway remaining a gravel surface. Runway lighting was installed in 1974 and was controlled with the aid of a five hour timer. PAL radio control operation of the lights occurred around 1979.
