Today our $14.5 million terminal redevelopment, of which $11.1 million was funded by the NSW Government’s Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund, was officially opened by Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter and Central Coast Scot MacDonald.
The opening marked the end of the 12-month build which expanded and refurbished the Newcastle Airport terminal. The completed works include:
- the extension of the terminal building by 50%
- a brand new departure lounge and arrivals hall
- dedicated facilities for customs, immigration, and quarantine to facilitate international services, and
- six new food and beverage outlets.
The local design and construction team, Schreiber Hamilton Architects and Hansen Yuncken, have designed and built a vibrant space that will meet the growing needs of Newcastle Airport.
When we asked our CEO, Peter Cock, what the official opening represented to him he said that unveiling the stunning finished product is very satisfying.
He then went on to say “We now have an airport that complements the spirit of our region. It’s bright, modern, and ready for the future.
“The completion of this project begins an exciting period for our business and for the region.
“The Newcastle Airport you will experience today really sets the benchmark for regional aviation in the terms of design, build, and customer service. The building we have today will connect our region to the rest of Australia and beyond and is an airport our region deserves,” concluded Peter.
You know what Peter, we agree with you. Double thumbs up from us.
