Hangar space required, Young, Hall, Cootimundra, near Canberra etc

[Flyingspanner]

Hi, 

 

I was wondering if anybody could help with hangar space for a Cessna 172. I live in Canberra and having to drive for several hours to my current hangar.

 

cheers.

Firstly, welcome. I see that you are new to the forum.

 

This topic has been done a couple of times so a search will reveal previous threads.

 

In a nutshell Canberra is available if you have the money. Polo Flat, just north of Cooma has hangarage and fuel but the owner is actively trying to sell the strip. Jindabyne had some hangarage available when I last asked early this year but is 2 hours down the road and has limited fuel availability. Canberra based SAAA members have spread themselves across several airfield including Goulburn, Tumut and Temora. Goulburn has some hangarage available from the owner and some private hangar owners but others in this forum will caution you about the owner and tone of the airfield, (there have been some legal disputes). Tumut Club advertises space available, has fuel but is 2 hours away by car. Temora has a good aviation community, fuel and hangarge should not be a problem but you are getting close to 3 hours away. The Yass development seems to be floundering from DA issues with the Council and resident complaints. The Williamsdale development seems to have fallen over and nothing has been said for several years. The Dick Smith airstrip was suggested last time and it would be interesting to see if anyone secured hangarage. The Hall strip I've not heard anything about in decades.

 

That's about it.

Hi FS.

 

My bird is out at Coota and next time I am out there I will ask around for you.  It's a really nice AD with fuel, and well maintained strips.

 

I should be out there this week or next week and will see what i can find out for you.

 

Cheers
