The Queensland Government has had an extensive involvement in providing subsidised regulated aviation services to select communities, to ensure regional, rural and remote communities have access to essential medical, educational, cultural, social and business services.
Following an open market tender process in 2021, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) awarded seven service contracts to deliver aviation services to 23 regional Queensland communities. These contracts commenced on 1 January 2022. Through these arrangements with aviation providers, TMR regulates services on air routes where demand is insufficient to make them commercially viable for operators.
TMR are now focussed on the next generation of aviation service contracting and aims to ensure they are appropriate for the future of the aviation environment and regional Queensland.
TMR recognises the importance of access to essential aviation services for the wellbeing and development of regional and remote communities across Queensland. TMR is committed to engaging with regional communities and industry stakeholders across Queensland to gather information and feedback on current regulated aviation services to help shape the future of air services across Queensland.
We invite you to participate in this survey to share your feedback and insights. Your input will help us identify what is working well, areas for improvement, and opportunities to enhance these essential services.
