Master Plan 2045 for Sydney Airport

[Volando]

I could be imagining this, but I thought I once read somewhere that the old control tower and associated buildings between T2 and T3 were deemed to have heritage value which is what has stymied the logical construction of the missing link between the two terminals. The renders certainly don't appear to incorporate it in their proposed design, so presumably it will be demolished. They already painted it McMansion greige which is a travesty in and of its self.

Well, I guess many of us won't be around to experience the sacriligious development.

This T2-T3 connector development is planned to be complete by 2030.

From what I can tell only the current SYD tower (No 5) is heritage listed.
No 1 didn't last long
No 2 as described above - though the tower is long gone and signficant internal changes
No 3 was a brick building demolished in 2005
No 4 still exists near the airport beach

What’s missing from that list is the SMCA tower at the international terminal, a seperate controller was based there to look after the international terminal apron, did a few shifts there, it was weird walking to work through duty free!

MEL had one as well https://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=7527

I guess with this setup, trans tasman flights might be getting lounge downgrades? Assuming you're on a T2/T3 departure, I can't see having access to T1 Int'l lounges.
