This August, the airport started its search for a contractor to build its new terminal precinct.

Construction work at the airport commenced in September last year, while major earthwork will begin next year.

Aurecon Aviation global head Stephen Symons stated: “We are not just designing a terminal; we are looking at containing space within a built form environment that can be used in the future but optimising the opportunities from this.”

Cox Architecture and Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) will design the airport’s terminal building.

The airport will span over 1,780ha and feature a modern terminal with multiple gates and two runways.

The A$5.3bn airport will be built in four stages. When opened in 2026, it will be equipped to handle up to ten million passengers a year.
