That would kinda put an end to LAHSO and 09/16 simultaneous operations on those calm sunny days we get in summer.
No, another parallel runway (34L/16R) is about the only thing that makes sense and even then, probably only when the new Terminal is built - otherwise we'd get another "SYD 3rd runway" situation and nobody down here wants that..
