Airport redevelopment

Council has been considering options to develop the airport to increase employment opportunities in the Eurobodalla and to ensure the long-term viability of the airport.

At its ordinary meeting on 26 May 2015, Council adopted a Master Plan that identifies a strategic direction for the airport and potential redevelopment opportunities. This Master Plan is the basis of two successful grant applications to the NSW and Australian governments.

In 2016 Council received funding commitments of $7.1 million from the NSW and Australian governments to commence a major redevelopment.

Land for lease

As part of the current and future development of Moruya Airport, Council is releasing land to establish commercial and recreational hangars, along with aviation-related businesses. This land is available for long-term lease.

Around the aerodrome

The aerodrome has been built on an extensive beach ridge plane. It is bounded by the ocean, Moruya River, and a system of wetlands and native forests.

The area hosts diverse of habitats for native amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Eucalypts and banksias are the dominant vegetation, with paperbark and tea tree swamps in the wetlands.

There are many natural elements of scientific importance around the aerodrome. The preservation of these areas is an important part of the aerodrome operations.

Moruya Airport was first licensed in 1939 as part of a joint Eurobodalla Shire and Commonwealth assistance program. During World War II the RAAF acquired the aerodrome to form part of the RAAF coastal surveillance network.

At the end of the war, ownership went to the Department of Civil Aviation. During the 1960s, the aerodrome underwent major upgrades with the addition of radio navigation aids, runway lighting and improvements to accommodate larger aircraft.

In 1991 Eurobodalla Shire Council accepted full responsibility for the control and operation of the aerodrome, with the introduction of the Local Ownership Plan.

During 2005 the aerodrome changed from licensed to certified bringing it in line with International Civil Aviation Regulations.
