But will there be a secret door from the F lounge entry?

Who doesn’t love the smell of avgas in the morning!

The new entrance to the Int Business lounge is apparently going to be next to the 1st lounge entry, outside just near the escalators. News is that it may open in Dec 26.
A few pics from L8 room @ Rydges. Workers overnight (observed around 2-3am, by 6am they were gone) maybe unloading materials/supplies.

Definitely makes more sense to have a common entrance and utilise the space at the base of the First escalator.

I was pondering if a new entrance “next to” the First entrance might actually pass behind the green wall? Although, is that the current kitchen space? I’ve not set foot in J Lounge for over 15 years (a nice problem to have).

I assumed QF would be taking over the walkway that is open over the terminal which you walk along to access the J lounge.

To make use of that, the entrance would need to move near the escalators, but not necessarily be a common entry.

Perhaps that's all in my head though.

Seems sensible but haven't noticed any construction.
Possibly needed for emergency exit from the far end of the J lounge, or whatever (offices) are above customs / immi
