Planning for the future
Key infrastructure projects completed or commenced during 2012/13 include:
Melbourne’s business park achieved
strong growth with more than $100
million invested to support the operations
of freight and business park partners.
Significant developments include:
In January 2013, Melbourne Airport
became Australia’s largest exporter of air
freight during the year, confirming Victoria
as the premier freight state.
> Work progressed on Melbourne’s Master
Plan supported by a broad stakeholder
engagement program including
government and the local community.
> Air freight exports increased by
16 per cent.
> Major projects within the Master Plan
include a proposed third runway and
a long term road solution, the elevated
loop road.
> Terminal 3 refurbishment – in
partnership with Virgin Australia, and
completed on time and on budget, the
refurbished Terminal 3 now aligns with
Virgin Australia’s refreshed branding.
> Forecourt – successful redevelopment
of one of Melbourne’s most congested
and keenly contested areas, improving
traffic flow and delivering more
space for general public pick-up
bays and streamlined bus services
through the relocation of commercial
and public services.
> Foxtrot apron infill project – this project,
scheduled for completion late in 2013,
will deliver approximately 30,000m2 of
new aircraft parking at Melbourne.
> Taxiway slab replacement –
to maintain safety standards,
Melbourne is replacing approximately
