Bankstown Airport Air Traffic Control Tower, Heritage air traffic control tower in Bankstown, Australia.

The four-story control tower features a square reinforced concrete base with face brick cladding and an octagonal cabin with a surrounding walkway.

Built in 1968 with a cost of $250,000, the tower emerged during a period when Bankstown Airport's annual flight movements increased from 100,000 to 280,000.

The control tower stands as an example of mid-20th century Australian aviation infrastructure, maintaining its original timber-framed console with technological updates.

Located on Tower Road at Bankstown Airport, the structure spans 300 square meters and includes dedicated floors for technical operations and staff facilities.

The control tower received Commonwealth Heritage List status in 2016, recognizing its role in Australia's general aviation industry development.
