Hi Nemanja, It is worth noting that most airports/aerodromes in regional areas of Australia do not have control towers as they are centrally operated by Air Services Australia from one of 3 sites using remote cameras and such. The presence or absence of a control tower should therefore not be the criteria on which to base whether it should be mapped. While difficult to tell from Aerial imagery, there does appear to be a small building near the strip.
Where feasible, adding the airport designations and runway numbers would be advantageous. Is there a permissible dataset that contains this information? Digging into the listed source tag (ourairports.com) shows that they use OSM as the map layer, and drilling down to a chart takes you to SkyVector who also use OSM for map data (among other sources).
