Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (WTB) is at 1511 Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road, Wellcamp, in Queensland, west of Toowoomba. Wagners, an Australian-owned infrastructure, construction and materials company, built it, and the airport's own website (the operator) calls it Australia's first privately funded public airport. Its operational documents use the name Wellcamp Airport, with the location indicator YBWW.

This site's schedule records show direct flights with Qantas to Sydney, and with Regional Express (Rex) to Brisbane, Charleville and St George.

Check-in at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport

All airline check-in desks are at the terminal entrance marked "Arrivals", so use that door even when you are flying out. The operator recommends arriving at least 1 hour before a domestic flight, a little earlier in peak season or if you need special assistance, and checking check-in times with your airline.

The operator gives the booking numbers as 13 13 13 for Qantas and 13 17 13 for Rex.

Screening at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport

The operator's advice for the screening point is to pack loose items in your hand luggage and keep your laptop and phone where you can reach them for the tray. Metal buckles and some jewellery set off alarms. If a medical or physical condition prevents a body scan, tell the Security Screening Officer; the operator says medically prescribed devices and aids are not restricted as long as you carry supporting documentation from your medical practitioner.

The items the operator lists as prohibited include scissors, knives, sporting bats and clubs, letter openers, non-personal aerosols, personal aerosols without a safety guard, and toy imitation firearms. It says flammable liquids or gases are not permitted on aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage, and it points to the Department of Home Affairs for the full list.

Commonwealth screening conditions for air services

The Australian Government's Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre (CISC) publishes general conditions for air services. It says an open charter or regular public transport air service must be screened if it:

• uses aircraft with a seating capacity of 40 or more persons
• operates from an Australian designated, tier 1 or tier 2 security controlled airport
• uses any aircraft departing from the same apron as a screened air service operating at a designated airport

When the liquids restrictions apply

The Department of Home Affairs page on what you can and cannot bring says its liquids, aerosols and gels restrictions apply in these situations:

• when departing Australia
• when transiting through Australia from one country to another
• when travelling on the domestic leg of a flight departing from an Australian international terminal
• before boarding an inbound flight at its last point of departure before it reaches Australia

Where the restrictions apply, each container must be 100 millilitres by volume, or 100 grams by weight, or less.

Inside the terminal at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport

The Altitude Bar & Cafe is open for all departing flights. It is fully licensed, with an outdoor playground and a glass-enclosed garden and viewing area, and it is open to the public subject to standard airport security screening. The terminal has free Wi-Fi, and the operator's shop and dining list includes a Choice kiosk and chemist.

The terminal covers 8,000 square metres. Guida Moseley Brown Architects designed it and Toowoomba-based FK Gardner & Sons built it, in glass, timber, polished stone flooring and exposed concrete. Hanging inside is the Southern Cross Aviation SC-1 prototype, built at the Toowoomba Foundry in the late 1950s, which first flew in 1961.

Items handed in at the terminal go to the Administration Office, which holds them for up to 90 days and then donates them to local charities. The office answers on +61 7 4614 3200 from 8am to 5pm on weekdays. Luggage lost on a flight is a matter for your airline, and the operator treats unattended bags as suspicious.

The operator runs walking tours of the airport on request by email, for groups of 10 to 40. It will not confirm a tour more than 2 months ahead or less than 2 weeks ahead, and most tours require standard screening.

Accessibility at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport

The operator says the terminal is designed to international standards, and asks you to tell your airline when booking if you need help with check-in, baggage drop or boarding. The accessible parking bays are the closest to the terminal, with single-level access and tactile guides, for holders of a Disability Parking Permit. A set-down zone at the front of the terminal has single-level kerbside access.

Accessible bathrooms and parent rooms are available landside, and airside in the departure lounge. The operator says its Airport Ambassadors "meet most arriving and departing flights", offering help to passengers with mobility needs.

History of Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport

The operator says Wagners built the airport over 19 months, as the first greenfield airport built in Australia in over 50 years. Operations began in 2014 with Qantas passenger services to Sydney, and Rex began passenger services to Western Queensland in 2015. In 2016, the operator says, the Australian Government granted the airport a Restricted Use International Designation and included it in its Regional Package as a Regional International Gateway.

The name comes from the rural district and from the original property, Wellcamp Downs, once home to a horse stud.

In a release of 27 September 2018, the Qantas Group announced Toowoomba as the first regional site for its Pilot Academy, in partnership with the Queensland Government and the Wagner Corporation, which it described as the airport's owner.
