✈️ A National First Takes Flight in Toowoomba
We’re proud to see Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport at the centre of a major new chapter for Queensland’s aviation and defence industries.
With $12 million in Queensland Government support, US-based Landlocked Aviation is establishing Australia’s first wide-body aircraft paint and refinishing facility at Wellcamp Airport.
Backed by the $180.6 million Sovereign Industry Development Fund, this landmark project will create more than 750 jobs across construction and operations, while delivering new capability right here in regional Queensland.
For Toowoomba and Queensland, this means:
🇦🇺 Strengthening sovereign defence capability
✈️ Building a nationally significant aircraft maintenance hub
🌏 Reducing reliance on overseas providers
👷 Creating local jobs and economic opportunities
📈 Growing Queensland’s aviation and defence industries
At Wagner Corporation, we’re proud to support projects that create lasting economic opportunity and position Toowoomba as a destination for world-class aviation, defence and aerospace capability, strengthening Queensland’s capability, one project at a time.
