It’s considered a ‘contingency’ landing runway for Qantas A380s with relevant procedures noted in the manual. 16L from the displaced threshold is roughly the same length as 27 in Melbourne and that can be used largely without restriction from an operational perspective. As mentioned earlier, the restrictions relate more to taxiing than landing or taking off.
Off 34R via Twy L or Twy B10 only.
Off 16L via Twy T6 only.

Somewhere out there is a bloody awesome photo of a Qantas 744 departing off 34R too. Found it!
