A transformational change is coming to Hobart Airport, a QIC Infrastructure portfolio company, via a $200 million project that will nearly double the terminal's footprint to 23,000 square metres. This major development will help cater for the projected growth in passenger numbers from today's 2.6 million to 5.5 million by 2042, and create up to 450 direct and indirect jobs when construction is in full flight. Once operational, Hobart International Airport anticipates hundreds of new jobs will be required to support the expanded facility. Hobart International Airport is Australia’s ninth largest and one of the country’s fastest growing airports. It is the main gateway for travel to and from #Tasmania. #aviation #infrastructure #infrastructuredevelopment

Being something of a construction / civil engineering geek I love this videos and seeing what goes into some of these major projects.

https://lnkd.in/eGBPBWXt Brisbane Airport (BNE) in Australia has begun the biggest transformation in its history. A$5bn (US$3.3bn) is being invested in the 10-year Future BNE program, which comprises more than 150 projects. These include upgrades to its domestic and international terminals, plus work on a third terminal set to open just before Brisbane hosts the Olympics in 2032. Kicking things off is the domestic terminal precinct upgrade, which will support Queensland’s growing population and the rising number of passengers who will pass through its doors. Passenger numbers currently stand at 20 million a year and this is expected to grow by a further 10 million over the coming decade.
