To save me hunting for phase one again I am looking at it now.
Changes to existing terminal
To accommodate the forecast passenger demand in the first phase of development (up to 21.5 mppa), our proposals include new facilities and extensions to increase the capacity of the existing terminal building. A set of potential solutions have been assessed in order to define the best way to accommodate the future demand at Terminal 1.
The following extensions have been assessed in the PEIR. However, these may be adapted and refined to meet future operational needs, dependent on how the demand evolves over the next few years. Should alternative options be adopted, the location, scale and nature of the extensions will be similar to those described and are not considered to give rise to materially different effects to those reported in the PEIR. Additionally, any remodelling works to increase the capacity of key facilities such as check-in, security check point, outbound baggage system, and inbound baggage system would not require additional buildings and would be delivered within the existing terminal.
• An extension of the current building to the north (ground floor only) to increase the existing passenger queuing area at Immigration, ncluding remodelling and optimising the layout of desks and e-gates.
• An extension of the existing building to the south side is proposed to increase the terminal area at both ground and first floor levels. At ground floor level, this would provide additional space for key facilities such as security search and check-in. At the first floor level, the additional area would provide additional space for the departure lounge to increase the provision of seating for departing passengers. Other options provide
additional departure gates within the existing terminal building by optimising and extending the use of some functions of the departure gate areas to the south.
• An increase in the number of departure gates (3 to 4 gates) is required to manage the growth in demand planned in Phase 1. A set of options have been explored to find the best solution which will be defined depending on
how the demand in the peak evolves over the next few years. One option is to build a new bussing gate facility external to the existing building in order to operate the departures from the new aircraft stands. Other options provide additional departure gates within the existing terminal building by optimising and extending the use of some functions of the departure gate areas to the south.
• In addition to the proposed extensions to the existing terminal, various terminal areas would be remodelled to increase the capacity of the terminal within the current terminal footprint.The proposed changes would increase the capacity of the terminal to approximately 21.5 mppa, which would be supported by the early construction
of some new stands on the site to be used eventually for Terminal 2.
