Runway 35 becomes Palmers Road
.

The alignment of runway 35 at the former RAAF Laverton Airfield coincides neatly with the alignment of a major road that is being constructed through the new development of Williams Landing. The runway surface was removed in late 2011, and the area shown in this photo is now covered with the other half of the railway overpass. A nearby control tower was demolished earlier in 2011. Another runway on the site now has houses built over it.
