Brisbane Private Airfield

The airfield was a privately owned grass strip. While no single official reason was published, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small private airfields: the sale of the property, the owner no longer wishing to maintain it, or a decision to convert the land back to a more profitable use, such as agriculture. The land has since been fully returned to farmland, suggesting a change in land use was the primary driver.

The site is currently private agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (43.737879, -80.084281) clearly shows cultivated fields. A faint outline of the former northwest/southeast runway is still visible from the air, but it has been plowed over and fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining hangars, windsock bases, or other aviation infrastructure on the site.

Brisbane Private Airfield was a small, unregistered grass airstrip serving the general aviation community. Its primary function was for recreational flying by the owner and invited pilots. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations. Its significance lies in its history as one of the many private airfields that once dotted the Southern Ontario landscape, providing a landing spot for local pilots and contributing to the region's general aviation fabric before many such strips were lost to development and changing land use.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Brisbane Private Airfield. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. Re-establishing an airfield would require significant private investment and regulatory approval, making it highly improbable.
