Aerodromes, facilities, and joint venture airports

94: Joint ventures

You could also call this:

"Rules for working together to run airports and share airport facilities"

The Minister and other parties can make agreements about how to run and manage things related to airports. These agreements can cover many different areas.

You can have agreements to set up and run airports as a team effort between the Minister and others. They can also put airport buildings and facilities in the care of approved groups or people.

The agreements can allow for swapping, renting, or subletting land or buildings owned by the government. They can also transfer the management of airports from the Minister to other parties, or the other way around.

You can make rules about who can enter airports and how they can be used. The agreements can also cover setting up things like cafes, bookshops, and travel agencies at airports.

These agreements can talk about how much money each party will contribute to projects, and how costs will be shared. They can include giving grants, subsidies, or loans to parties involved in the agreement.

The agreements can be changed if all parties agree, or ended if that's what the agreement says. They can also include insurance arrangements.

If the government makes an agreement about developing or rebuilding an airport under the Public Works Act 1981, it can include all these things too.
