No, Perth will be Cat 3 well before the 787 gets here. The upgrade is almost finished.
Minimal cost to Airlines, as modern airliners are delivered 'out of the box' CAT III.
So who's going to pay for the millions it takes to install/upgrade the airport? Perth airport has been at it for 18 months now and still going on.
