Latrobe Regional Airport Security Assessment

Airbiz, in conjunction with Intelligent Outcomes Group (IOG), recently completed a security threat and risk assessment of Latrobe Regional Airport in Gippsland, Victoria.

Latrobe Regional Airport lies in the heart of the Latrobe Valley, the centre for Victoria's power generation infrastructure. The airport is also home to Gippsland Aeronautics, Australia's only OEM aircraft manufacturer, and home to numerous GA and historic aircraft. REX services the airport daily, to Sydney and Canberra.

Latrobe Regional Airport's assessment investigated many common, but often unaddressed, threats and risks facing all airports today. These included access by unauthorised people, risk of vandalism and theft of property and risk of politically motivated actions.

As well as working with airport management, Airbiz and IOG consulted widely throughout the local community including Latrobe City Council, Victorian Police and local power stations.

Airport Management were pleased with the practical and achievable recommendations of the project that addressed the issues uniquely relating to Latrobe Regional Airport.
