The need for respraying the lines was raised during Tuesday's council meeting, with Councillor Christine Stead enquiring as to whether the lines had been referred to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

The status of the lines was previously raised by Cr Stead during a meeting of council's Transport Committee on February 10, with Airport coordinator Bob Campbell indicating all remarking at the airport will be done at the same time due to potential interruptions to operations and an increased efficiency in engaging the contractor for a single project.

The potential for safety concerns were raised at the council meeting, but Transport Committee chairman and Councillor Simon Croce said there was "no panic" about the status of the lines and if there was a hint of safety concerns, CASA would tell council to speed up the painting process as the civil aviation sector is "strictly regulated".

"If there was any problem they [CASA] would be down on us like a ton of bricks," Cr Croce said.

"They just wouldn't allow that stuff and neither would we.

"They will be done well before it's anywhere near dangerous."

Chief flying instructor at the Griffith Aero Club Rob Robilliard said the current status of the lines can make it difficult to instruct during early-morning periods where it is more difficult to see the lines as planes approach.

"Safety is the most important thing," Mr Robilliard said.

"Early in the morning you can't even see the lines in the centre.

"When you're training students you need that centre-line to be visible... especially in poor light conditions and poor visibility."

Mr Robilliard said council has "got to be ahead of it" when it comes to ensuring the lines are up to specifications and called for further clarification of when the lines will be repainted.

"Council are the operators of the airport," Mr Robilliard said.

"We shouldn't be chasing them up all the time... they know they've got to do it."

Cr Croce said he was unsure as to the total cost the project would require as along with a re-painting, council also will look to repair cracks which have formed on the runway - but no specific time-frame has been placed on when the repainting will be completed other than in the upcoming financial year.

"There's a process involved," Cr Croce said.

"Before we paint we want to repair the cracks... they'll do the whole thing."

Council's infrastructure and operations director Phil King told council on Tuesday the status of the line marking at the airport has not been raised by CASA.

"Council does have their airport regularly inspected by CASA and we comply with all our CASA obligations," Mr King said.

"CASA have not raised the issues of the line marking to date and we are looking to have the line marking renewed in the new financial year.

"There is a contractor based in Wagga that we've engaged to come over and do that for us in the new year."

A spokeswoman for Griffith City Council said quotes are being obtained as to the total cost of the proposed repainting.
