The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week The Value Car Park is nearly sold out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you do have a car park booking, please arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal T1 T2 T3 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, which is a 10-minute walk to and from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Melbourne Airport is partnering with Conservation Volunteers Australia to deliver the Healthy Habitats program to help save the Eastern Barred Bandicoot. Once common across Victoria’s volcanic plains and grasslands, the Eastern Barred Bandicoot is now one of Australia’s most endangered species and is considered extinct in the wild.

The Healthy Habitats program has seen the development and maintenance of a predator-proof sanctuary for the bandicoots at Woodlands Historic Park, located on Melbourne Airport’s back fence.

Since 2013 when 47 bandicoots were released into the sanctuary, breeding has seen numbers increase with more than 500 animals now roaming within the 230-hectare sanctuary. The survival of these shy tussock-dwellers now depends entirely on captive breeding programs and secure, healthy, predator-free habitats.
