The plans i`ve heard are that the domestic pier will come down to make room for a/c parking,grass between std 1 and echo will will not be completely concreted (about 20m will be used).The front of the terminal front will be extended out to be level with arrivals entrance(reasonable distance) the info desk will be moved down stairs and massive upstairs toilets will be scaled down to make more room.There were/are plans for a joint "emergancy response centre" for the police who will be relocated from the old pier and the AFRS who need a new station!A walkway of some sorts will also have to be created for pax to move between departure lounge and new parking area,this will be linked in with the bottom of international pier`s lower section being gutted out so this part will be open for pax to dep/arrive from.BUT this has not been approved!down to funding the money i guess.fingers crossed
