Dash 8 Main Gear Doors

This morning I was SLF on VH-SCE from BNE to GLT at 06:10, the aircraft's first sector for the day.

On the tarmac in BNE I noticed that all 3 main gear doors (each side) were open, and I think they all stayed open until after the gear was retracted.

On approach to GLT the gear was lowered, and the 2 rear doors then closed again.

Can someone please explain why the doors operate differently after the first sector.

Thanks,
Spec.
