Aviation Projects has provided assistance to the Wagner Group from the initial planning approval through to the construction and operation of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport and continues to provide valuable ongoing advice and support.
Aviation Projects provided expert advice and guidance on a range of matters including the preparation of initial demand forecasts and scope of aircraft operations, concept layouts, concept airspace and aircraft flight paths and consideration of various other planning and operations matters.

Our Services for Aerodromes, Heliports & Vertiports
- Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) Assessments: Ensure compliance with CASA Part 139 by identifying and managing obstacles that may impact flight operations. Our OLS studies provide clear, practical solutions to maintain operational safety while supporting development around your aerodrome or heliport.
- Master Planning: We deliver tailored master plans that balance current operational needs with future expansion. From small regional aerodromes to planned vertiports, our master planning services align with both regulatory requirements and strategic growth goals.
- Tailored Instrument Flight Procedure Design: Our team designs ICAO PANS-OPS compliant procedures that enhance both accessibility and safety. This includes procedures for fixed-wing, rotary, and PinS (Point-in-Space) operations.
