I did read it. As Bloggs has clarified, it is merely the Qantas side.
What is the Airport station is pretty perfectly located for a consolidated terminal. Perth Airport and now the State government no longer want Qantas on the Western side anymore than necessary, so the train station on that side was never intended to facilitate them staying.
I believe the Redcliffe Station master plan is for an area akin to what is like the Mascot precinct in Sydney… commercial, hotels, apartments… eventually (as with everything in WA - Wait Awhile).
With regards to that terminal move, I’ve heard rumors Qantas may be relenting in their tiff with Perth Airport, with a (large) sum being offered up by Qantas if it’s matched by the other parties in various ways and forms. The current digs would be improved to allow Qantas to do a bit more of the international flying it wants to (fixing whatever caused the Joburg flights to cease and Jakarta flights to be still born)while a new terminal extension is built on the Eastern side. I guess we’ll see how that works out.
