Looks like you could land in it i.e. no fence through the middle however the hangars have been cordoned off, that said I noticed a C210 or similar in a hangar the other day so I have no idea, I have a rough feeling it isn't but could be?

Commercial ops only. Private aircraft not allowed.

My understanding is that the Warnervale flying club is likely to move to Aeropelican when Warnervale closes. Funny really because that commercial restriction with however many hours was in force for years, and the field may become used for ab initio!

 

I do know private pilots who have landed there "due stress of weather".

You might want to access a new ERSA..... Maitland frequency has changed concurrent with release of current ersa edition.
