MAPL is being developed as the focal point of an aviation cluster in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, with the central role of providing internationally competitive training facilities for the aviation industry.

The zoning of the airport protects the development of aviation and other transport services, providing a significant greenfield opportunity for any manufacturing and processing industries that require quality transport links (rail and freeways A39 and M1 are adjacent to the airport).

Few airports in Australia combine freehold land together with broad acreage and first-class road and rail connections, enhancing the airport’s suitability as a site for a major flight training organisation or intermodal transport hub.
