The International Terminal Building Baggage Makeup Area Project is in response to the mandated requirement by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs Aviation and Maritime Security Division to upgrade security screening levels at Australian Airports. These latest security screening requirements involve the installation of new screening equipment, known as Standard 3 technology.
Staged construction is currently underway behind the scenes in the International Terminal Baggage Area on a steel frame mezzanine that will house our brand new, energy-efficient, best-in-class conveyor system and Standard 3 technology baggage screening equipment. This mezzanine level is being built above the existing baggage system to ensure continued operations and minimise the impact on passengers during construction.
This project is part of the Australian Government’s Strengthening Aviation Security Initiative, which aligns security screening with global standards. It consists of security screening equipment upgrades at the Domestic and International terminals, set to be complete by 2025.
