Just been looking at a few plans showing the layout of the airport following the construction of the parallel runway.
Principally the existing Casuarina and Acacia Streets servicing the GA area will become the main taxiway between the two runways, with an underpass (similar to Sydney) for Dryander Road to access the GA. RWY 14/32 will remain but -depending on which plan one looks at - may be used as a a high speed taxiway from the eastern ends of 01L.
Interestingly, it appears in this concept that the new 01L/19R is principally to be used for 01 landings as the high speed runway turnoffs seem to be angled to favour this direction.
My impression is that the view from the northern and eastern windows of the BNE QP will dramatically improve with the major tarmac activities of aircraft taxiing to and from 01L/19R and associated approaches/departures should enliven the outlook between those trips to the bar.
There is also a significant new road link from the Gateway to the southern industrial area crossing between the DFO and Export Park, with linkages to the INT and DOM terminals which should improve access from the north.
Interesting times BUT its going to be a loooooonng time digging up the airport again.
