Have your say on the future of
Moruya Airport
Eurobodalla Council is inviting community feedback on future plans for Moruya Airport. With the aerodrome’s 20,000 annual passengers forecast to increase to 26,000 by 2042, and air freight on the rise, airport manager Sheldon Jones says the masterplan is about more than just infrastructure.
“We want Moruya Airport to become a multi-faceted hub that drives economic development in the region,” he said.
“That means creating space for aviation support businesses, improving access, and ensuring we’re ready for increased tourism and emergency service needs.”
The masterplan is a 20-year vision prepared for Council by To70 Aviation (Australia) Pty Ltd. It outlines goals to grow the airport as a regional transport hub, increase employment opportunities, maintain financial viability, and uphold good governance. It also considers environmental and ecological constraints, ensuring development remains within the current airport boundary.
Key features of the proposed development include:
·commercial subdivisions accessible from George Bass Drive
·development lots for aviation support businesses
·area for a future multi-function building with terminal, café, hospitality, retail, and carparking
·expanded aircraft parking apron, and
·additional hangarage and potential for a freight distribution centre.
Land accessible from George Bass Drive has also been earmarked as the location for a potential new terminal. A concept design for the future terminal was developed by STEA Astute Architecture following collaborative workshops with airport users and stakeholders in December 2023.
Mr Jones said a new terminal is years away, but this concept planning is important.
“While the new terminal won’t be constructed until operational needs exceed existing capacity, having a Development Application-ready plan will make it easier to secure grant funding when the time comes.”
Council encourages residents, businesses, and stakeholders to have their say on the Master Plan and Concept Design by Friday 28 November 2025, 1pm. You can provide feedback by:
·Writing to: The General Manager, PO Box 99, Moruya NSW 2537
·Emailing: council@esc.nsw.gov.au
·Using the online feedback form at https://www.esc.nsw.gov.au
