Listen to a Podcast Interview with Bill

My Management experience is extensive and most recently drawn from the Aviation sector at a senior level in Airline operations and currently Airport Management and development.

I am currently Chief Executive of Mildura Airport Corporation, a Company formed to operate the Airport assets on behalf of Mildura Rural City Council but totally independent of the Council.

In addition to my mainstream career, I have held voluntary and elected positions in my community in Victoria, including Mayor and Councillor of my Municipality, representing Councils interests on the Board of several Statutory Authorities.

What’s the impetus for this Masterclass

While the Federal Government continues to push infrastructure investment forward, regional councils are now recognising that investment in airport infrastructure is a key factor to driving the economic growth of their regional and rural communities.

While management may differ between Commonwealth Leased International Airports and Council Owned or Privately Owned Regional Airports, the challenges for development are very clear for both:

  • Funding and the rising cost of capital are still a barrier to a lot of development proposals
  • Inadequate capacity and a lack of services mean a struggle to capitalise on increasing air travel
  • Developing a comprehensive Airport Masterplan is therefore crucial to ensure a clear ROI

Airport Masterplan Management 2010 will look at the importance of a Comprehensive Airport Masterplan in turning your airport into a commercial asset.

Join your peers seeking to understand both strategic and technical aspects of master plan management to diversify income, ensure a return on investment and make the right investment decision.

To help you save both time and money we’re bringing this Intensive 1 Day Masterclass directly to your doorstep in our four city road show:
