The NZ$3.9 billion overhaul, which will see a new domestic terminal linked directly to the existing international terminal, began in 2024 and is slated for completion in 2028. It will replace the old domestic terminal, much of which dates from the 1960s and '70s.
Mike Hirst, a board member of Adelaide Airport since 2023, will take over from Rob Chapman in late November, bringing “more than 40 years of experience in board and senior executive leadership roles within retail banking, treasury, funds management and financial markets”.
Speaking to media this week at the announcement of preliminary works on the second stage to Keilor East, Federal Transport Minister Catherine King said there have been “complexities that had to be worked through” with regard to building at the airport.
The express “Super Shuttle WSI” electric bus service will link the new airport with Parramatta, Sydney CBD, and Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, similarly to Melbourne Airport’s “SkyBus” service. Tickets will be available at kiosks in and around the WSI terminal.
Site investigations, procurement and development works on the section, which will include the rail line to the new Keilor East station, will be underway shortly, with community engagement and early designs next year. Major construction will begin in 2028, with trains to run to the station in 2031.
Up to 50 work safety officers who are responsible for activities surrounding the airport’s curfew, including closing off the airfield and tarmac and escorting contractors and emergency vehicles, will strike from 10pm to 1am until Thursday.
