Brisbane Airport Expansions
$190 million of infrastructure investment has been completed or is underway at the Brisbane Airport. The $190 million is being invested into projects, including the biggest external development and first 5‐star hotel for the airport; a major expansion of retail; restaurants and commercial office spaces, as well as Aviation Australia’s world-class training facilities.
