The popularity of Brisbane as a tourist and business destination is continually growing. Hundreds of thousands of visitors arrive at its airport every week and Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) and Aurecon have worked together for a significant time, transforming the airport for passengers and service operators in the future.

Terminals Development Strategy

The future growth of the domestic and international terminal precincts is underpinned by the Terminals Development Strategy. To inform this strategy, Aurecon facilitated a design-led deep-dive into BAC’s current business and future possibilities.

Aurecon identified potential risks, themes and opportunities that ranged from precinct design and experience to terminal and business operating models. The outcomes were potential future scenarios (and assumptions) that were taken to further testing before potentially being included in the strategy. Key themes included increasing connectivity, offering a unique experience and developing a business hub for BAC that responds to passenger demands and business growth.

Northern Concourse Expansion International Terminal

Aurecon’s engineering capabilities contributed to the design of two new gates to the International Terminal to suit larger aircraft, including the Airbus A380. In addition, passengers and service operators will have:

An extra 13,500 m² of space
Six more boarding zones
New passenger zones
Four new aerobridges

With the existing terminal in full operation during construction of the new gates, Aurecon had to design major upgrades to be achieved whilst not interfering with daily operations. Electrical HV supply, relocation of existing cooling towers and major changes to security and to the baggage handling areas were designed to be constructed with no interruption to the existing terminal.
