Perth Airport's 2020 Master Plan outlines $2.5 billion of investments for the airport over the coming decade. This investment will support the consolidation of all commercial air services into the 'Airport Central Precinct'. This will include:
- expanding international facilities as part of the international terminal upgrade project
- constructing a new terminal to consolidate the Qantas Group operations to Airport Central by 2025
- constructing multi-storey carparks within the consolidated airport precinct, and
- constructing a third runway.
These projects will support forecast growth in passengers and aircraft movements at the airport. The next stage of consolidation is the International Terminal Upgrade project, this will include:
- a new international departures area
- expanding the retail offerings
- new lounges
- a new baggage handling system, and
- new parking and taxiways for aircraft.
The development plans for the airport also include ground transport infrastructure. This will include multi-storey carparks and access from the new Airport Central Train Station to all terminals.
