Matamata Airport

Matamata Airport, formerly Waharoa Aerodrome, is the airport serving Matamata, New Zealand.

It is just over north of Waharoa, north of Matamata, was formed in 1942 and transferred to council ownership in 1965. It has two grass runways.

History

In 1966 the aerodrome was leased for sheep grazing which resulted in a pump being installed that later connected to a clubhouse and ablution block. The Matamata Soaring Centre later used the aerodrome for gliding and power flying.
