MidCoast Council has once again partnered with Paul Bennet Airshows to bring the Barrington Coast Airshow back to the skies above Taree on Saturday, 7 November.
Following the success of the 2024 event, the world-class airshow is expected to attract more than 6,000 visitors to the region.
Headlining the biennial event is Paul Bennet, an internationally recognised airshow pilot and the current Australian Unlimited Freestyle Champion.
The airshow will also feature a diverse program of aerial performances, including aerobatic displays and warbirds, as well as ground entertainment, including exhibits, amusement rides and food vendors.
MidCoast Mayor Claire Pontin has welcomed the airshow’s return to Taree Regional Airport.
“The Barrington Coast Airshow has quickly become one of our region’s signature events, and Council is proud to support it,” Pontin said.
MidCoast Council has provided a sponsorship package for the airshow and has worked closely with organisers to deliver an unforgettable experience for aviation enthusiasts and families alike.
“With more than 6,000 visitors expected to visit the Barrington Coast for the one-day event, we anticipate it will provide over $2 million in economic impact for our local businesses and be a great way to connect our local communities,” Pontin said.
The Barrington Coast Airshow will be held every two years until at least 2030, with support provided through MidCoast Council’s Grants, Donations and Sponsorship Program.
“By providing long-term certainty, we’re giving organisers the confidence to grow these events and helping local businesses prepare for more visitors. More visitors means more people staying, dining, shopping and exploring everything the MidCoast has to offer.”
