Refurbishment at MEL QF J lounge?

[drcam]

Just wondering has there been a refurbishment at the QF international J lounge in Melbourne yet?
I know pre-renovation it was one of the weakest lounges in the network, is it worth consuming a Priority Pass visit at a different lounge?

Not yet.

Announcement for a renovation that will happen in 3 years time and then be delayed another 5 years. So 2033 at the earliest.

Reading between the lines, Qantas is waiting for MEL Airport to finalise it's plans for international terminal expansion, which might hopefully open up some alternative spaces that aren't so dungeon like.

The domestic Melbourne Qantas Club has similar lighting constraints following the reconfiguration with the business lounge, but would never convey the dungeon moniker. Can understand waiting for the terminal reconfiguration, but that doesn’t preclude them adding a little more lighting or improving the F&B in the interim.

I went down to visit some colleagues on the same flight the other week. If that isn’t an incentive to retain Platinum for Victorian flyers, I don’t know what is.
