BNE media release --> Brisbane International Terminal Transformation Revealed

Brisbane Airport's future International Terminal revealed

• Relocation of Security and Passport Control from level 3 to level 4 into light-filled atrium
• Enhanced security screening equipment providing faster experience
• Introduction of self-service check-in and bag drop for smoother travel
• Upgraded baggage systems to improve efficiency
• Refreshed retail options for travellers and duty free area to nearly double in size
• Sustainability features including electric charging stations for aircraft support vehicles
• Rock originally quarried from Brisbane's Kangaroo Point Cliffs reborn as terrazzo benchtops and furniture.

It will include the most significant changes to the terminal since it opened 29 years ago.

Driven by the need to upgrade security screening equipment to meet Australian Government standards by the end of 2025, Brisbane Airport is undertaking major works across the terminal. “Our International Terminal is Queensland’s gateway to the world. After three decades of service, it’s well and truly time for a transformation, ensuring it’s ready to welcome the world for years to come. This building is worth billions of dollars to Queensland’s tourism economy and jobs every year,” declares Brisbane Airport CEO, Gert-Jan de Graaff. The work at the International Terminal is part of the $5 billion Future BNE transformation over the coming decade that includes upgrades to the Domestic Terminal, construction of Terminal 3, and extensive commercial, retail, and industrial projects across the precinct.

Flew into the new BNE [domestic] not long after it opened ~29 years. To me the separate domestic & international terminals of 29 years ago was a strange layout. Did they not look at MEL.?
Catching up of combined domestic & international terminals. It's planned that the third terminal will service both domestic and international flights.
