Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Unknown. Based on satellite imagery showing a heavily overgrown and indistinct runway, the airstrip has likely been disused for many years, possibly since the late 20th or early 21st century. No official records of its operational dates or closure exist.

Reason for Closure

Unknown. Given its nature as a small, private airstrip, the reason for closure was likely related to the cessation of private use. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner no longer flying, or the cost of maintenance becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to military conversion, a specific accident, or commercial economic factors.

Current Status

The site is currently private agricultural land, appearing as a paddock or pasture. The former runway is heavily overgrown with grass and is barely distinguishable from the surrounding fields. It is completely unusable for aviation and has effectively reverted to farmland.

Historical Significance

The site holds no known official or historical significance. It appears to have been a small, unpaved private airstrip, likely serving a single property or a small group of local pilots for recreational or agricultural purposes. It would have handled only light, single-engine aircraft. The name 'Yarrowee Airport' is likely an unofficial designation derived from its proximity to the Yarrowee River, and the identifier 'AU-0684' is not an official ICAO code (which start with 'Y' in Australia) but rather an identifier from a non-governmental aviation database used to catalog small, unofficial, or closed airfields.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. As the land is privately owned and the infrastructure has been reclaimed by nature, any reopening would require a significant private investment and initiative from the current landowner. It is considered highly unlikely to ever operate as an airfield again.
