Perth Airport plans major expansion in 2026

Key 2025-2026 Developments

• Master Plan 2026: Draft plans were released in late 2025, detailing a major investment in infrastructure to handle rapid growth, with the public comment period closing in late December 2025.
• Major Infrastructure Investment: A $5 billion investment, supported by a landmark agreement with Qantas, will see a new terminal and runway built, creating a “one airport” precinct.
• Terminal 2 Expansion: Upgrades are underway to double capacity, including new self-service kiosks and expanded baggage handling.
• Construction Impacts: Significant works are occurring, and the Dunreath Drive Viewing Platform is closed for construction from January 5, 2026, to May 2026.
• Record Growth: The airport continues to experience high demand, with significant increases in passenger numbers, driven partly by the WA resources sector.
