RAAF Wagga Heritage Centre is an aviation museum at RAAF Base Wagga, on the Sturt Highway, Forest Hill, New South Wales.[1] The heritage centre has indoor and outdoor displays of aircraft, memorabilia and photographs relating to the Royal Australian Air Force in the Riverina.

History

RAAF Wagga Heritage Centre opened in June 1995 with items from RAAF Base Wagga and items which was donated by the community.[2] The museum was closed in 2001 for refurbishment[1] with the memorabilia temporarily relocated to the Point Cook RAAF museum but plans to reopen the museum were quietly scrapped after the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) adopted a new policy in 2003, which stated that it would only fund RAAF Museum at Point Cook.[3][4]

AirCare and Wagga Wagga based newspaper The Daily Advertiser ran a campaign during late September and early October 2008 in an attempt to reverse the Australian Defence Force's decision.[5]

On 13 December 2008, it was announced that the museum would be reopening in 2009. The RAAF would spend $75,000 completing the refurbishment of the museum building.[6]

In May 2009, a public consultation meeting was held to discuss plans for the centre, including the $130,000 set aside by the RAAF for outfitting the building for a future heritage display.[7]

The heritage centre was officially opened on the 12 October 2010.[8]
