Statement attributable to Wyndham Mayor Cr Mia Shaw

"Wyndham City Council welcomes the announcement that RAAF Williams will no longer be considered for sale. 

This outcome is consistent with the submissions we made to the Federal Government. This site should never have been considered as surplus land but as one of the most important aviation heritage sites in Australia. The heritage aspects of this site are important historically not only for Point Cook and wider Wyndham community but for our nation.

We acknowledge and thank the many community members, organisations and advocates whose tireless efforts helped secure this outcome."
