Latrobe Aerospace Technology Precinct

The Precinct will be the first AAM Centre of Excellence of its kind in Australia

First location in Australia where industry can undertake research and development, as well as test and evaluation to support commercialisation and work towards aircraft certification

Over 8,000 hectares for test and evaluation across low density areas

Advanced Air Mobility technologies are set to become reality this decade, creating demand for new ground infrastructure and sustainable power systems to support next generation aircraft.

Latrobe City recognised the significance and opportunities that Advanced Air Mobility, and the supporting technology, will not only bring to the region but also to Victoria, and established the Latrobe Aerospace Technology Precinct within the Latrobe Regional Airport.

The Precinct, set amongst 162 hectare site will enable a thriving collaborative environment for emerging aviation technology, developers, industry partners, manufacturers, academia and research organisations. This will create not only industry opportunities, but career and education pathways for the region.

Renewable energy systems, including wind, solar and liquid hydrogen will support low and zero emissions development and flight testing, ensuring reliable and sustainable energy supply and alignment to the region’s clean energy objectives.

Launch Pad

Anchoring the Precinct will be the LaunchPad building, a flexible and future-focused building that has been designed to evolve with the needs of emerging industries and technologies.

The two storey, 1,225 square metre building incorporates modular architecture to support staged development, allowing spaces to be reconfigured and expanded over time. This adaptability ensures the building remains relevant as the Advanced Air Mobility sector matures, supporting startups, research and clean energy innovation.

The Launch Pad has been designed to interconnect industry, innovators, suppliers and educational institutions to enable the development, assembly, testing and evaluation, and commercialisation of AAM and associated renewable energy systems
