In a near-perfect year-round climate Geraldton, the heart of the Batavia Coast in the Mid West Region of Western Australia, offers all of the cultural, entertainment and shopping facilities of a major regional city, and boasts a range of sporting facilities second to none. The Airport is located 11km from the town centre.

Modern spacious design, attention to passenger comforts and the latest in security, that�s what you get at the new Greenough Terminal at the Geraldton Airport.

With its aeronautical streamline curves and outlook over the Moresby Ranges, the steel and rammed earth terminal makes an impressive entry statement to the 60,000 passengers utilising it each year.

The project was a triumph for the Shire of Greenough and a showcase for the talent of local businesses including architects, Eastman & Poletti, construction company Crothers Construction and a host of local trade contractors.

The Greenough terminal is designed for passenger comfort featuring conference facilities, outdoor and indoor seating, a licensed cafe and a luggage conveyor belt for baggage collection.

A large salt water aquarium is another feature to capture the attention of visitors. Created to mimic life on the reefs of the Abrolhos Islands, the aquarium includes live coral, local crayfish and a variety of commercial fish caught in the region.

Ample parking is provided at the new terminal, with security of vehicles and passenger given top priority. A digitally recorded, 24-hour surveillance system monitors all aspects of the car park and terminal.
