Warren Airport in NSW is a mid-size, remote airport servicing the local community.
The recently upgraded Warren Airport has boosted aircraft capacity and safety for the remote community in far west NSW, benefiting services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Air Ambulance. The NSW Government’s Drought Stimulus Package funded the project during the drought providing a $2.3 million boost to the local economy, employing various local trades on the project and supporting small businesses.
The town of Warren, 3 NM from the airport, is a quiet rural town on the Macquarie River. It services an area dominated by sheep and cotton. Merino sheep and the Auscott Cotton Gin dominate the town’s economy with wheat, oats, sorghum and maize also being grown. The main attractions in the local area are the excellent Tiger Bay Wetlands which are a magnet for birdwatchers; the remarkable Macquarie Marshes; and the ebb and flow of the area’s huge cotton industry.
