Forthcoming shared international lounge at ADL?

[bernardblack]

ADL's upgrade plans show a common-use international lounge. And a Plaza Premium document for a US-based credit card show a Plaza Premium at ADL coming soon.

Are these the same thing? Is there an ETA? I redeemed some expiring Cathay Asia Miles on QR J (should be Qsuites) AKL-ADL for next Feb, and I might try to route outbound through ADL as well (I'm MEL-based), especially if the VA/QR partnership launches and I can earn Velocity status credits. So it would be good if there were actually a decent lounge beyond immigration and we didn't have to try to use the Qantas Club and guesstimate the time required.

There's nothing there yet but there is a sign to The Lounges after security and immigration.
