History
In the late 1980s, the construction of a new airport was proposed, however, it was on Aboriginal land. Site surveys were conducted, which was assessed for the Airport Syndicate.[1] Monkey Mia Airport was then built in 1994 to replace the old Denham Airport, which the State Government funded $67,600 for. On October 2004, the State Government additionally funded $18,200 for the project, which when complete could allow aircraft to use the airstrip 24/7. This was a part of the broader 2003-04 Regional Airports Development Scheme funding round, which were to allocate $2 million towards 37 airport projects.[2] On 20 December, 2011, Monkey Mia Airport was assigned as a category 6 security controlled airport under regulation 3.0 IB of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005.[3]
