Unknown. The exact date is not documented. Based on analysis of historical aerial imagery, the airstrip was likely a simple, unpaved farm strip that fell into disuse and was reclaimed by farmland sometime after the 1970s. As a private facility, there would have been no official closure announcement.
The specific reason for closure is unknown but is almost certainly related to the private needs of the landowner. Such airstrips are typically abandoned when the owner no longer operates an aircraft, the property is sold, or it is no longer economically viable or necessary for agricultural or private transport operations. There is no indication it was closed due to military conversion, a major accident, or public economic factors.
The site is currently private agricultural land. Modern satellite imagery shows the area has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland for cropping and/or grazing. There are no visible or functional remnants of an active airstrip.
The facility, identified by the non-official ICAO code AU-0429, was a small, private airstrip, not a public airport. Its historical significance is minimal and localized. Operations would have been restricted to the landowner's private use, which likely included agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting, seeding) and personal transportation. It did not handle any commercial, scheduled, or military air traffic.
None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening an airstrip at this location. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and there is no public or commercial demand that would warrant its re-establishment.
