Interesting find in the recent budget?

2026-27 FEDERAL BUDGET REVEALS CASA SET TO INTRODUCE ANNUAL REGISTRATION COSTS FOR VH AIRCRAFT, CITING A NEED TO IMPROVE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND SAFETY OUTCOMES

Page 128 of the Budget 2026-27 Book 2 has revealed that CASA will soon introduce annual registration fees on VH registered aircraft, adding further cost impost and regulatory burden on the Australian general aviation industry. The budget document claims that the introduction of new annual fees will improve regulatory compliance and safety outcomes.

"Once again aircraft owners in Australia are about to be smashed with unnecessary costs that will lead to further industry decline,

"To assert that introducing annual registration fees has any relationship or bearing on regulatory compliance or safety is incredibly dishonest of CASA and a blatantly misleading argument,

"Aircraft registration is a simple administrative function and CASA knows this fact but is choosing to play smoke and mirrors,

"Aircraft registration costs were removed in the 1990's and a fuel levy was introduced to provide funding for CASA,

"Re-introducing an aircraft registration cost and not withdrawing the fuel levy amounts to double dipping from aircraft owners,

"By introducing annual registration fees CASA will create for itself an entire system of fee processing that will require dedicated staff and resources. These ever increasing costs will then be forced onto aircraft owners through an ever ratcheting of annual registration charges,

"What's next... a CASA charge when your Maintenance Release is issued? This is the thin edge of the wedge that results in destroying the viability of our aviation industry."

"Most galling is that the planned annual aircraft registration fees have made their way into the Federal Governments 2026-27 budget, yet there has been ZERO consultation with the industry by the regulator,

"Worse still, how can CASA consult with industry now in good faith, now that we are all aware they have a plan to introduce the fees regardless of the any feedback we provide?"

Love what you’ve done Joe ✈️

There are always new businesses opening in Bunbury and this one is really special.

Joe and Hayley have taken the plunge with their 1941 Boeing Stearman - a vintage open air aircraft offering joy flights around Bunbury

It’s great to see them both starting up Open Air Adventure Flights based at the Bunbury Aero Club and getting lots of supports from locals

If you have a daughter or son interested in aviation or you want to have a go yourself it will be an experience of a lifetime

And your photo in the goggles, flying jacket and helmet will be a talking point for ever!!!
