Paid
parking, which will be introduced upon completion of the upgrades which are due
in December, follows customer feedback highlighting the difficulty of finding
parking spaces in the past due to the large number of FIFO (Fly-in, fly-out) workers
parking cars for extended periods of time.

will apply for short and long term parking. Short term charges will range from
$3 for 1-2 hours, to $25 for the day and long term parking will cost $10 a day,

The
introduction of car parking fees is designed to fund and ensure the ongoing
high level of maintenance of the airport, including improved facilities and
services for passengers and visitors.
