The new resealing of the runway will give it a 10-year lifetime before it is rehabilitated again.
The resealing works on the runway is expected to commence in September and be completed by the end of the year.
The airport is expected to be partly closed during the works, which is expected to be 2 to 3 months.
The runway was last rehabilitated in 1998 under assistance from the Australian Government and the construction works were undertaken by the Ministry of Works.
