IT'S official - Lake Macquarie has its own airport.
The Geographical Names Board has announced that Aeropelican Airport at Marks Point has been gazetted as Lake Macquarie Airport.
Lake Macquarie mayor Jodie Harrison said the renaming will now readily identify the major regional infrastructure asset with the city.
"The capital being invested by the Lake Macquarie Airport owners is a reflection of, and belief in, the vibrant and dynamic nature of the local economy," Cr Harrison said.
"The tourism-related aspects of the airport's planned development and services offering are expected to be a major boost for the tourism industry, creating ... jobs growth in Lake Macquarie City."
