Established in 1979, the Aviation Command was initially based at Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith Airport before relocating to Bankstown Airport in 1991, where it was housed in three World War II hangars.
Mr Elliott said the new facility is pivotal to the provision of world-leading aviation policing services for the people of NSW into the future.
Not only is this facility the home for the fleet, it is the epicentre of aerial law enforcement operations in NSW, providing support to first responders, surveillance, and investigations, including counter terrorism and organised crime.
“To have this world class facility on our doorstep is an amazing asset for our local community,” State MP for East Hills, Wendy Lindsay said.
