Fees and charges at the Geraldton Airport will significantly decrease in the new financial year to keep on track with the needs and feedback of the community.
Long term parking has been slashed 50% as has maximum payments of short term parking per day. From $10 a day in 2016/17, long term parking will be reduced to $5 a day with short term parking going from a maximum of $20 per day down to $10.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said community feedback was the main reason for the change.
“Our community told us that prices were not realistic and we listened,” he said.
“The airport is a huge part of our City’s economy and it has undergone significant upgrades to ensure we keep up with the capacity as well as continue to promote economic activity and jobs.
“We have managed to lower parking costs whilst not increasing our landing fees.”
Mayor Van Styn said Council made it clear the change needed to happen.
“When parking prices increased we saw a reduction in people using the long term parking,” he said.
“We want the Airport to be useable and practical for the people who use our terminal whether it be FIFO workers or people flying out on holidays.”
