RAAF Point Cook Airfield established in 1913, and first flight in 1914 as the Central Flying School for the Australian Flying Corp has been appointed to the Australian Governments' National Heritage List affording it recognition and protection under Federal Government heritage laws joining 70 other National Heritage sites.
The site was nominated to the Commonwealth Heritage List and National Heritage List in February 2004 by the Point Cook Airfield Preservation Action Group, formed in 1998 to ensure the site was not closed down and sold off for housing.
The listing further cements the Defence future use strategies and policies recently issued by Peter Lindsay Parl Sec for Defence to retain the site as a working Heritage Base.
