In its latest Airport Monitoring Report, the consumer and competition watchdog said infrastructure investment at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth Airports had grown by more than 43 per cent in 2024-25 to $1.5 billion in spending on aeronautical facilities.
The federal and Victorian governments have released early designs for the Sunshine superhub, which will see a $4.1 billion investment to “untangle the complex rail junction” and create space for the much-delayed new airport rail link, which will join the Melbourne train network at the station.
The plans, signalled last year, will see the airport enlarge and modernise its international check-in and baggage claim halls; grow its terminal footprint with improved lounges, waiting areas and retail; and add five new gates to the existing international pier.
The High-Speed Rail Authority has released its business case for the first stage of the project, which would link Newcastle to Western Sydney International Airport via Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, Sydney Central, and Parramatta, with construction to potentially start in 2029.
