Scheduled Website Maintenance – Online Parking Bookings Unavailable

Online parking bookings will be unavailable from 21:30pm Tuesday, 16th September until 04:00am on Wednesday, 17th September, due to scheduled website maintenance.

Car parks are busy

ALL car parks are very busy this week, with limited drive-up spots available. Please consider alternative transport options. Please have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Our roads and car parks may have changed since your last visit. Due to ongoing construction in the T123 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times. Learn about the Naarm Way Stage 2 project to plan ahead: https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/plan-ahead. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, just a short 10-minute walk 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.

Runway and Taxiway Maintenance Works
18.8.25

Melbourne Airport Pavement Maintenance Program 2 (EPBC 2023/09527)

Melbourne Airport is proposing works on Taxiway Alpha, between Taxiways Juliet and Kilo. The project will involve demolishing existing taxiway and services infrastructure, regrading the taxiway and shoulder areas, installing electrical, communications and stormwater services (including connection with existing services) and reconstructing the taxiway (including shoulders).

The activity is deemed a controlled action under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 due to impacts on Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain, which is a threatened ecological community.

These documentations are now available for public information.

Taxiway Zulu works

The Taxiway Zulu project is part of taxiway development works that includes the construction of a new taxiway, realignment of an existing taxiway and extension of a third taxiway. These works began in March 2019 but were suspended in October 2020 due to the impacts of COVID. They are now due to be completed in 2026.

The works are part of the overall future development of the Melbourne Airport terminal precinct and in particular, the expansion of Terminal 2.
