Join the fight to expand Busselton Margaret River Airport

Expand Busselton Margaret River Airport for International Flights

The Busselton Margaret River region is one of Australia’s fastest-growing tourism, education and lifestyle destinations — yet our airport infrastructure has not kept pace.

We are calling on government to expand Busselton Margaret River Airport by delivering:

• A new, modern passenger terminal

• A runway capable of hosting international flights

• Customs, quarantine and Australian Border Force facilities

Why sign this petition?

Right now, international visitors, students and business travellers must fly into Perth and travel hours by road to reach the South West. This adds cost, congestion and lost opportunity for our region.

Upgrading Busselton Airport would:

• Enable direct international flights to the Margaret River and South West region

• Create jobs and support local businesses across tourism, hospitality, agriculture and services

• Reduce pressure on Perth Airport and road networks

• Support long-term regional growth and resilience

This is a smart investment in regional Australia.

The South West is growing, diversifying and attracting global interest. Modern aviation infrastructure is essential to unlock the region’s full economic potential and ensure we remain competitive as a world-class destination.
