About Carosue Dam Airport
Carosue Dam Airport is a private fly-in fly-out aerodrome supporting the Carosue Dam Gold Mine in Western Australia's north-eastern Goldfields region. Operated by Northern Star, it primarily serves mine workers travelling on charter flights between the site, Perth and Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Located approximately 110 km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, the airport sits within the South Laverton gold field and provides the main air link for personnel moving to and from the remote mine operation. It features a single hard-surfaced runway, designated 06/24, roughly 2,000 metres in length.
As a restricted private aerodrome, it is not served by scheduled public transport. Access is limited to approved charter flights, and prior permission is required from the operator. Road access is available via the Carosue Dam Access Road, with onward travel to Kalgoorlie-Boulder typically taking around 1.5 to 2 hours by vehicle.
Passenger facilities are deliberately compact, designed around crew changeovers rather than general public travel. This makes the airport an efficient but specialist gateway, closely integrated with the mine's fly-in fly-out logistics and village accommodation.
