Defence Minister Robert Hill today opened the
new headquarters for Australia’s $3.27 billion
Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Wedgetail

The headquarters at Williamtown near Newcastle
is also the official new home of Air Force’s
re-formed No 2 Squadron, who will fly the AEW&C
Wedgetail when it becomes operational.
Senator Hill said the opening, attended by the
Member for Paterson, Bob Baldwin, was a significant
milestone for Project Wedgetail, RAAF Base Williamtown
and local industry.
