Porepunkah Airfield is located in the Buckland Valley 2 km south of the township of Porepunkah. It is home to General aviation, ultralight and weight shift aircraft, gliders and occasionally hang gliders. The airfield was originally a local farmer's paddock, and in 1978, formally commissioned as Buckland Airfield and since then has grown into a picturesque grassed airfield with user hangars, public toilets, public car parking and visiting aircraft parking.
The recent improvements to the airfield include a new vehicular entrance at the north end of the airstrip and the closure of the original road crossing the airfield.
The airfield is managed by a Committee of Management for the Alpine Shire.
