Airport facilities and operations
The airport has a single runway, 05/23, with a sealed surface measuring  by . The runway is equipped with pilot-activated lighting for operations at night, installed in 2003. However, as an unlicenced aircraft landing area, facilities and movement areas are not required to be maintained to the same standard as a certified airport and scheduled passenger flights are not permitted. Pilots operate into the airport at their own risk and must co-ordinate arrivals and departures and separate themselves from other aircraft using a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency. Basic facilities are provided for visiting aircraft and passengers, including an all-weather tie-down and parking area as well as toilet facilities. Avgas is also available 24 hours a day.

In June 2020, the airport was awarded a federal grant of $104,000 was received to reseal the taxiway connecting the runway to the emergency services and general aviation parking areas and to mitigate the risk of flooding affecting the operation of the airport.

As well as aviation uses, the runway is occasionally a venue for drag racing and motorsports events, such as the Copper Coast 500 sprint charity meet.
