Lounges in Rockhampton, Gladstone, Kalgoorlie, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Port Hedland, and Karratha will be temporarily closed over various dates between 5 February and 19 March for the renovations, which follow the opening of a refreshed Broome lounge in 2024.
Grimshaw and Mott MacDonald will lead the architectural design and engineering respectively for the program, which will see the T2 and T3 domestic terminals joined into one larger precinct with gates added to serve some international traffic.
17.17 million passengers travelled through Sydney’s T1 international terminal in 2025, with the December quarter also the airport’s busiest in history for international passengers at more than 4.62 million, up 5.9 per cent on the same time in 2024.
Regional and remote airports impacted by Rex’s administration can apply for reimbursement from a pool of $5 million under the Government’s Regional and Remote Airport Support Program, with the aim of preserving regional services while minimising impacts on residents and ratepayers.
From October to December 2025, a total of 340,778 passengers travelled through the updated terminal, including 111,007 in December alone. The airport now says it is expecting 1.334 million passengers by the end of the 2025–26 financial year.
The 470-square-metre firefighting hub will strengthen the emergency response capabilities at Launceston, and is expected to be finished in time for the peak summer fire season later this year.
