The Laverton RAAF base runway area in Melbournes then outer western suburbs was shut down and turned into housing, the hangers, accommodation and training buildings are still there and the base still in use.
For how much longer I do not know but the roads in the new hosing area dead end at the base boundary fence waiting for the bulldozers.
Likely what is there will be moved interstate or to the Point Cook RAAF base aprox 5km south of the Laverton base, Point Cook is the oldest continuously operating Air Base in the world and has the official RAAF Museum located there.
It has a State Park, lake, wet lands and Port Phillip Bay around it which hopefully will limit suburban growth getting too much closer.
