Caboolture’s first airstrip was constructed some time before 1965 by Norman Douglas Thurecht. The initial site of Redcliffe was denied permission due to proximity to Brisbane airports and a lack of radar coverage. Following the construction of Redcliffe Aerodrome, the Caboolture airstrip was abandoned and its operations moved to the new site.
