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'.
Perth Airport will deliver a third runway before the end of the decade (subject to demand). The third runway is proposed to be 3,000 metres long, 45 metres wide and run parallel to the existing main runway. It will be located between the current international terminal (T1) and Abernethy Road.
The development will also include approximately nine kilometres of taxiways and other associated airfield infrastructure and systems.
