a member of staff mentioned MEL, BNE and PER, not sure how much wishful thinking this was ?
Maybe they were indulging in a bit of nostalgia, since once upon a time BA served all of those. PER has cropped up recently in rumours surrounding possible 787 destination but IMHO there's not a snowballs chance in hell that you'll see BA back to any of those places anytime in the future. I suspect BA are only continuing to serve SYD because of the termination of the Joint Service Agreement with QF.
