Moana is a defunct railway station in Adelaide, South Australia.
In 1928, weekend train services were introduced between Moana and Adelaide, just in time for that year's Foundation Day celebrations.
It was a ground level stopping place during the passenger transport days of this line, and a 1965 reference mentioned that it was no longer used at that date.
There was a smaller stop following this called 'Noarlunga Sand Siding' opened in 1928 for loading sand which closed in September 1950. A 1965 reference remarks that traces of the old siding could still be seen at that date on the curve before Pedlars Creek Road crossing.
The Seaford railway station, built in 2014 on the Seaford railway line, is located approximately 300m from the site of Moana station. The Willunga line closed in 1969 and was dismantled in 1972.

Seaford Heights is a metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It lies within the City of Onkaparinga and has postcode 5169. Its boundaries are formed by Robinson Road on the north, Main South Road on the west, Victor Harbor Road & Ostrich Farm Road on the east, and The Southern Waste Depot on the south. It covers 77 hectares.
Infrastructure development of Seaford Heights began in early 2014. The first permanent buildings were completed in late 2015. The Aldi supermarket opened in February 2016.
The development of Seaford Heights has gained considerable opposition. It is argued that the suburb represents unacceptable urban sprawl, infringing on The McLaren Vale wine region.
The Fairmont Group, an Australian property-development company, was given the tender in December 2008 to develop the property, and planned to start in late 2009. However, local opposition to the development stalled development for several years. Original plans called for 1,300 allotments and an approximate population of 4,500.
Some concerns have been raised with City of Onkaparinga council that the residential area will be sandwiched between two of Southern Adelaide's busiest arterial roads and a dump. Local opposition has also questioned placing a "strip mall" next to Adelaide's extensive grape fields.
