Quick Facts Summary, Airport type ...

The airfield was originally a local farmer's paddock, and in 1978, formally commissioned as Buckland Airfield and since then has grown into a picturesque grassed airfield with user hangars, public toilets, public car parking and visiting aircraft parking.

The recent improvements to the airfield include a new vehicular entrance at the north end of the airstrip and the closure of the original road crossing the airfield.

The airfield is managed by a Committee of Management for the Alpine Shire.

The Geelong Gliding Club holds an annual Easter Camp at the Porepunkah aerodrome starting from the Good Friday until the Saturday next week.
