Ballarat Airport Ballarat Airport is located Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The Ballarat Aero Club, Field Air and MAF-Air Services are located here along with the Ballarat Aviation Museum and the Anson Museum. Unlike many other EATS sites the RAAF retained the base as its Radio School until 1961. The then-Shire of Ballarat negotiated with the Department of Interior to become the civil operator of the airfield and sought the maintenance on site of the hangars and other structures, however a majority of the P Huts were sold by the Commonwealth. In 2006 the aerodrome was recommended for listing on the Victorian Heritage Register due to its ability to illustrate the Empire Air Training Scheme in Victoria. The site was included on the register on 27 July 2007. The aerodrome continues to perform an important role in emergency services operation, civial operation, flight training and as accommodation for many community groups and organisations.
