Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has approved a Major Development Plan for the western concourse extension at Canberra Airport.
The western concourse extenstion is the second of the two-phase $350 million new multi-level passenger terminal project. The existing terminal will be demolished in stages to make room for the new facility, with the project being undertaken in two stages – the first due for completion mid year is the southern concourse terminal extension, while the second stage western concourse extension is due for completion in 2012.
