The site represents a transport technology which reduces travel time and demonstrates Corrigin's development.
On 16 December 1932, Major Mann of the Civil Aviation Department visited the site to inspect it as a prospective air strip site designated by the Corrigin Roads Board. In 1933, approval was granted for a landing strip. The all weather day and night gravel airstrip is serviced by the Shire of Corrigin, and a suitable standard for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. In 1976, the St John Ambulance volunteers installed lights on the east/west runway for night landings by the air ambulance and later the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The patient transfer shed and lights are maintained by the Corrigin St John Ambulance Sub Centre.
