Experience this project
Explore the passenger improvements, security upgrades and behind the scenes of our baggage system upgrade in this animated fly-through of the Domestic Terminal Security Upgrade project.
Overview
The Domestic Terminal Security Upgrade will provide a safer and simpler screening process for passengers, streamlining their airport journey.
It includes major upgrades to passenger and baggage screening equipment, aligned with government-mandated regulations and will mean less hassle for passengers, as most items can stay in their carry-on luggage.
It will also provide direct access from the Skywalk to the Domestic Terminal for checked-in passengers with carry-on baggage.
Brand-new northern screening point now open
After two years of construction within our Domestic Terminal, Qantas passengers are able to experience the new northern screening point featuring 5 brand-new security lanes equipped with Rapiscan CT (Computed Tomography) screening technology, also known as Standard 3.
While Qantas passengers will be the first to experience the new screening point this week, other travellers won’t have to wait long. Work is well advanced on construction of a new mezzanine level in the centre of the Domestic Terminal, which will deliver 10 lanes of security screening capacity and is expected to open just before Christmas.
Improved bathroom standards
The new standard in bathroom design can now be experienced directly opposite Gate 22 at the Domestic Terminal.
New features include:
- Touchless tech for taps, flushes, soap and dryers
- New parent room with feeding chair and changing space
- Accessible and inclusive facilities
- Improved design, airflow and a focus on sustainability features
Bathroom renovations to this new standard will continue to roll out across the Domestic Terminal until 2027.
Sustainability considerations
The Domestic Terminal Security Upgrade project will include sustainable and recyclable custom carpet inspired by Queensland's beaches, environmentally friendly spotted gum hardwood timber and table and bench tops that have high recycled content. This project aligns with our sustainability targets, incorporating electric infrastructure, demand and response technologies, and waste management strategies. All projects must take into consideration our sustainable design guideline.
