In Phase 1, T4 will be expanded, refurbished and reconfigured as an outbound processor with self-service passenger check-in and bag-drop facilities. SPP will provide access to a centralised seating and retail area, located at the base of the existing Foxtrot Pier, as well as a new Golf Pier, located close to the existing Qantas Freight building and accessible from the centralised dwelling area via a new elevated walkway. Passengers can make their way to aircraft by walking from new and existing piers or taking airside buses.
Phase 2 will revolve around marrying the existing T3 to the new T4, effectively integrating T4 into the existing ‘single roof' terminal precinct. The integrated terminal will be complemented by a consolidated screening point and attractive passenger dwell areas. These consolidated public areas will be accessible to all domestic passengers. Premium and low-cost carrier customers will pass through tailored check-in/bag-drop areas and dedicated parts of the piers.
The ultimate design of the integrated T3 and T4 facilities involves increasing the building's depth, integrating with T2 and further extending the piers. This design will be supported by up-to-date infrastructure management models and the use of relevant airport technology, including common-use self-service units, dynamic wayfinding and information signage and integrated back-of-house data management systems.
