Canberra's new terminal - there's more to come
This redevelopment will see the delivery of a new state-of-the-art airport that will aim to be the best of its size in the Asia-Pacific region. Included in this transformation are new roads, new car parks, a new terminal building and new aircraft parking aprons.
Completed last November was the first stage of the project, the Southern Concourse Terminal . This stage included the completion of one of two multi-storey car parks, a two level, dual lane axial roadway and a new terminal building. Improvements and extensions were also made to the aircraft parking aprons.
Next on the agenda and now under construction is the second stage to the project; the Western Concourse Terminal . This stage makes up 60% of the entire project and delivers some of the most exciting elements in the project, see below is list of what is still to come...
- More shops including a book store and duty free store.
- More food and beverage outlets including a brewery bar and Asian offering.
- A second undercover car park with 1,200 additional spaces.
- An indoor taxi rank.
- 200 FREE pick-up spaces
- More check-in counters, baggage collection belts and club lounge areas.
- Well equipped parent’s room and dedicated kid’s zone.
- Tri-generation technology that will reduce carbon emissions by 75%.
- 600,000 litre water tank to capture rainwater for use in toilets and landscaping.
Completion of the ‘AirVolution’ will be an historical milestone in its own right and will deliver a new terminal benefiting the National Capital in time for Canberra’s centenary in 2013.
