Cecil Plains Airfield

The exact reason is not officially documented, as this was likely a private agricultural airstrip. Closure was probably due to economic or practical reasons, such as the owner no longer operating an aircraft, the land being repurposed for more profitable farming, or the consolidation of local aviation activities at the nearby registered Cecil Plains Airport (YCPS). There is no evidence of military conversion or a specific incident causing the closure.

The site is no longer an active airfield. Satellite imagery shows the land has been returned to agricultural use, primarily for cropping. While the faint outline of the former runway is still visible from the air, the surface is plowed and cultivated as part of the surrounding fields, making it completely unusable for aircraft.

The airstrip's significance was purely local. It served as a private 'ag strip' (agricultural airstrip) for a specific farm or property. Operations would have included crop dusting, property inspection, and private recreational flying. It was not a public airport and had no scheduled commercial services. Its existence was tied to the agricultural needs of the immediate area it served.

Effectively zero. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this specific airstrip. The land is actively farmed, and a fully functional, registered aerodrome (Cecil Plains Airport - YCPS) is located just a few kilometers to the south, adequately serving the region's general aviation needs.
