Mildura Airport transfers
A 2022 regional passenger transport study for Mildura Rural City Council found a lack of passenger connectivity between Mildura Airport and the Mildura CBD, with no shuttle bus service available at the time. The study also notes that the company running the airport has a single shareholder, the council itself. For a wedding party, a conference group or a team flying in together, a charter pickup timed to the flight keeps everyone in one vehicle from the terminal to Mildura, Red Cliffs or Buronga.

When the council endorsed the study in July 2022, one priority action was looking at bus and coach services between Mildura and Melbourne, a long trip worth planning well ahead for a group. In town, the council's parking information lets a public bus or taxi stop in a loading zone, with a 30-minute maximum where the sign shows no time limit. Charter vehicles are not named there, so confirm with the operator where the bus will wait while your Mildura group boards. The Mildura - Buronga Significant Urban Area counted 53,620 people at the 2021 Census, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
