Moruya Airport (MYA) is on Bruce Cameron Drive, Moruya, in New South Wales. Eurobodalla Shire Council owns and operates it, and the council's airport page says Regional Express (Rex) flies from Moruya to Sydney and Merimbula. Eurobodalla Coast Tourism places the airport in the centre of Eurobodalla, on the coast.

The terminal is a small building, and the parking beside it is not fenced and is limited. The council's airport page lists a taxi company and Hertz car hire.

Who runs Moruya Airport

Eurobodalla Shire Council says the aerodrome is owned and operated by the council, and Airservices Australia's aerodrome entry, dated 3 September 2026, names the council as the operator. The same entry says Moruya Airport is a security controlled airport.

The council's history of the airport says it was first licensed in 1939, as part of a joint Eurobodalla Shire and Commonwealth assistance program. During World War II the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) acquired it as part of the RAAF coastal surveillance network, and the Department of Civil Aviation owned it after the war. The council accepted full responsibility for running the aerodrome in 1991, and during 2005 it changed from licensed to certified.

Where Moruya Airport sits

The council says the aerodrome is built on an extensive beach ridge, bounded by the ocean, the Moruya River, and a system of wetlands and native forests. Eucalypts and banksias are the dominant vegetation, with paperbark and tea tree swamps in the wetlands, and the council says preserving these areas is an important part of running the aerodrome.

The council lists the North Head Primitive Camping Ground and the Moruya Surf Life Saving Club among the airport's community contacts, along with the Aero Club, Skydive Oz, South Coast Sea Planes and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. The council's works log says a temporary car park was established in the campground while the terminal car park was resealed in January 2026.

The terminal at Moruya Airport

The council's airport page describes the main apron in the south-eastern portion of the aerodrome, next to a small terminal building. Hertz says its car hire team is in the arrivals hall of the terminal.

The council's project notes record a terminal upgrade that began in January 2017 and was finished in July 2017. The notes describe more passenger space inside, refurbished amenities with an accessible toilet added, and a designated space with the potential for a cafe, should an operator come on board. Notes written before the work was finished listed new and increased seating and an additional check-in desk among the works still to come.

Master Plan 2026 and works at Moruya Airport

At its meeting on Tuesday 28 July 2026, the council adopted the Moruya Airport Master Plan 2026, which it describes as setting a long-term vision for the airport. The council says the plan identifies opportunities to improve facilities over time, and the council also endorsed the passenger terminal concept design to move into the next stage of detailed design.

In December 2024 the council's project log said it was designing a new passenger terminal on the western side of the airport. The master plan and the terminal concept were on public exhibition until 28 November 2025.

The council's log records the airport closing on 14 February 2019 for runway strengthening, with all Rex flights cancelled from 14 February to 6 March; the smaller secondary east-west runway reopened on 2 March, and the main runway was to reopen as planned on 7 March.

Flying Rex from Moruya

Rex's check-in desk closes 30 minutes before the scheduled departure at regional airports in New South Wales, and its boarding gate closes 15 minutes before. Rex recommends presenting checked bags 60 minutes before departure, and its web check-in opens 48 hours ahead and closes 60 minutes before. The council lists REX Moruya on 02 4474 3433, and Rex's customer contact line is 13 17 13.

Rex's travel requirements page says passengers aged 18 and over must show an acceptable form of identification, either photo identification or two forms of non-photo identification, with the name matching the booking. Passengers aged 17 or under need none if they travel with, or are presented at check-in by, an identifiable guardian. Rex's Conditions of Carriage, separately, refer to satisfactory photo identification at check-in.

Rex's baggage page lists its regional services as operated by the Saab 340 turboprop, and it currently allows 7 kg of carry-on baggage on all fares on those services, with the checked allowance depending on the fare type. Rex says carry-on bags may be weighed and measured, and a bag over the limit at the boarding gate is offloaded and goes as checked baggage on the next available flight, for the passenger to collect on arrival. Rex also says the Saab 340's cargo compartment has only a very limited capacity, and it reserves the right to offload checked bags when the aircraft is restricted in the baggage it can carry.

Rex describes boarding by the aircraft stairs. It says it provides a Disabled Passenger Lifter at its regular airports for passengers who cannot board or disembark using stairs, and it asks for special requirements at least 48 hours before the planned departure.

Rex's Conditions of Carriage name inclement weather among the events beyond its control, and say times of arrival and departure are not guaranteed. If Rex changes the schedule or cancels the booked flight, the passenger may cancel the ticket and get a full refund. Rex's disruption FAQ says that, because of limited facilities at some of the regional airports it flies to, refreshments or meals for delayed passengers may not always be available there.

Security screening and liquids rules

When an air service must be screened

This is the Commonwealth's general screening rule for air services. The Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre says an air service that operates open charter or a regular public transport operation must be aviation security screened if it:

• uses aircraft with a seating capacity of 40 or more persons
• operates from an Australian designated, tier 1 or tier 2 security controlled airport
• uses any aircraft departing from the same apron as a screened air service operating at a designated airport

Liquids, aerosols and gels

These are the Commonwealth's general rules for liquids, aerosols and gels. The Department of Home Affairs says each container must be 100 mL or 100 g or less, and all containers must fit in one transparent, resealable plastic bag. It lists these situations for the restrictions:

• when departing Australia
• when transiting through Australia from one country to another
• when travelling on the domestic leg of a flight departing from an Australian international terminal
• before boarding an inbound flight at its last point of departure before it reaches Australia

Getting to and from Moruya Airport

Taxis

The council lists Moruya Taxis on 02 4474 3455, and Airservices Australia's aerodrome entry gives the same number as the airport's taxi contact; Eurobodalla Coast Tourism lists that number under the name Moruya Radio Taxis. The tourism body also names Batemans Bay Taxis and Chris's Passenger Service, Narooma, as servicing Moruya Airport and surrounds. Airservices notes, for aerodromes in general, that in many instances a taxi or hire car is not at the aerodrome itself and has to be contacted by phone after arrival.

Car hire

Hertz says its team is in the arrivals hall, and the council lists Hertz Car Rental on 02 6495 3444, the number the aerodrome entry also gives for hire cars. Hertz's page for its Moruya Airport desk lists it open Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 16:30, and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Check the hours with Hertz before you fly.

Bus

Eurobodalla Coast Tourism says Priors offers a town bus service between Batemans Bay and Moruya with a range of stops.

Parking at Moruya Airport

The council says parking is available next to the terminal building, is not fenced and is limited, and that closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are in operation at all times. In January 2026 Downer Group resealed the public car park at the terminal.

Driving from Sydney to the Eurobodalla region

Eurobodalla Coast Tourism puts the Eurobodalla region 3.5 to 4 hours' drive south of Sydney, by the Princes or Hume Highway.

Eurobodalla National Park and the Bingi Dreaming track

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) says Eurobodalla National Park stretches from Moruya Head to Mystery Bay, and suggests it as a day trip from the nearby coastal towns of Moruya, Narooma, Bodalla and Tuross Head. It lists camping, walking, surfing, whale watching and fishing in the park. The park page names Moruya Heads lookout, Congo campground, Brou Lake campground, Mystery Bay lookout, Bingi Bingi Point, and a guided Aboriginal culture walk with a Yuin Elder.

Eurobodalla Shire Council says the people of the Yuin Nation are the traditional custodians of the land now known as Eurobodalla Shire. It says Yuin people have lived in the area for thousands of years and have an enduring custodianship and connection over its land and waterways.

The Bingi Dreaming track

NPWS describes the Bingi Dreaming track as a coastal walk that traces the ancient Song Lines of the Yuin Aboriginal people, following in the footsteps of the Brinja-Yuin people. It is 13.5 km one way and Grade 3, with NPWS suggesting 4 to 6 hours, running from Congo in the north to Tuross Head in the south, and NPWS says you can start from either end or break it into a few shorter walks. NPWS calls Bingi Bingi Point a place for scenic views, whale watching, surfing, walking and birdwatching, and it lists a 2-hour guided walk with Southbound Escapes.

The track crosses the openings of coastal lakes and lagoons that are intermittently closed and open. NPWS says the Coila Lake opening is at the southern end of the track, and that if it is impassable you will not be able to reach the village of Tuross to complete the walk. Check that the lake is open, and the park's current NPWS alerts, before you set out.
