$142 M for RAAF Base Pearce

(May 29, 2007) -- I am pleased to announce that the Government has committed $142.2 million for the redevelopment of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Pearce adjacent to the town of Bullsbrook, near Perth in Western Australia.

The redevelopment will include a combination of new construction and refurbishment works for engineering services, a fuel farm, aircraft hangars, training and operational facilities, a combined mess, and office and living-in accommodation.


This is the first redevelopment planned for RAAF Base Pearce. It will focus on training output functions by replacing aged infrastructure and facilities to ensure that RAAF Base Pearce can support RAAF and Royal Australian Navy pilot training, as well as operational deployments and exercises.

In addition it will provide aircraft maintenance faculties to ensure that the required aircraft are available for pilot training.

The new combined mess and living-in accommodation will greatly enhance the living conditions and morale of Air Force officers and airmen and women, as well as Air Force and Navy cadets.
