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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"370\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC.jpg\" alt=\"Shepparton Airport VIC runway layout.\" class=\"wp-image-5408 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC.jpg 550w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC-300x202.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/370;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC.jpg\" alt=\"Shepparton Airport VIC runway layout.\" class=\"wp-image-5408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC.jpg 550w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SheppartonRunwaysVIC-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>Shepparton Airport Victoria, Runways<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#e7f5fe\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Elevation<\/strong><br>375<\/td><td><strong>Area Forecast<\/strong><br>30<br><\/td><td><strong>Strip Direction<\/strong><br>  09  \/  27   :   18  \/  36<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPS Position<\/strong><br>36\u00b0 257   <strong>S<\/strong><br>145\u00b0 236  <strong>E<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ALA Code<\/strong><br>YSHT<\/td><td><strong>Strip Length<\/strong><br>  434   :   1298<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>WAC Chart<\/strong><br>3469<br>3470<br><\/td><td><strong>FIA<\/strong><br>Melb Centre  122.4   Circuit area<br>Unicom   118.8    2200 &#8211; 0700 UTC<\/td><td><strong>Strip Surface<\/strong><br>Gravel   :   Sealed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Owner \/ Operator<\/strong><br>Greater Shepparton City Council<br><strong>ARO  <a href=\"tel:0409807065\" class=\"ek-link\">0409 807 065<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Windsock<\/strong><br>1 &#8211; E side approx midway of RWY 18\/36 <\/td><td><strong>ASIC Security \/ Vis Vest<\/strong><br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel<\/strong><br>Gawne Aviation<br>AVGAS  2200 &#8211; 0700  UTC<br><strong><a href=\"tel:0358231481\" class=\"ek-link\">(03) 5823 1481<\/a><\/strong>  Business hrs<br><\/td><td><strong>Distance to Town<\/strong><br>3 NM<\/td><td><strong>Lighting<\/strong><br>PAL 123.9  +  AFRU  118.8<br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aircraft Parking<\/strong><br>&nbsp;A sealed apron and tie down areas are provided in front of the northern hangars.<br><\/td><td><strong>Transport<\/strong><br>Taxis available at the terminal.<\/td><td><strong>Landing Fees<\/strong><br>$11.80 \/ ton<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-black-color has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Special Procedures and Comments: <\/strong>   CTAF 118.8<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/shepparton-victoria\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Nearest Town<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td>Accommodation<\/td><td>Attractions<\/td><td>Dining<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearest Airstrip to Shepparton is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/benalla-airport-victoria\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Benalla Airstrip<\/a><\/strong> (55.5 kms).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[118],"list-tags":[],"location":[113],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Shepparton Airport Victoria | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Shepparton Airport in Victoria is 8 kms south of the town&#039;s CBD.
