About RADS

The Regional Airports Development Scheme (RADS) is a State Government initiative which aims to ensure regional aviation infrastructure and airport services are developed and maintained to facilitate air access and enhance economic growth in Western Australia.

Western Australia was the first state to provide funding for airport infrastructure in regional areas. Some other Australian states have since developed similar programs.

RADS and Royalties for Regions funding

RADS was initiated by the Department of Transport in 1997 and proved very successful. Since 2008, the grant program has been supported by a combination of Department of Transport and Royalties for Regions funding.

From 2008 onwards, close to 100 projects have received RADS grants which totalled more than $21 million. Eligible projects include airport studies such as masterplans, airside infrastructure, terminal and grounds development and maintenance projects.
