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.

Australia’s world leading influenza vaccine company, Seqirus – part of the CSL Group, today announced it will move into a purpose built facility inside Melbourne Airport’s Business Park, taking advantage of the airport’s ability to transport supplies 24/7.
 
Construction of the 118,000m2, $800 million facility, will commence in February next year and is expected to take approximately three years to build plus a further two years for commissioning. Once operational, the cell-based vaccine and antivenom manufacturing facility will house several hundred staff. 
 
Melbourne Airport Chief of Commercial Property, Andrew Gardiner, said securing Seqirus as a long-term tenant was a once in a lifetime opportunity. 
 
“Never before has the world been so fixated on vaccine development and we’re proud that one of the world’s premier public health protection companies is deciding to call Melbourne Airport home,” said Mr Gardiner.
 
“Seqirus is a huge acquisition for us. It really changes the face of Melbourne Airport’s Business Park and amplifies our property portfolio by putting us on the map in the medical and healthcare sector.
 
“The airport is home to four distinct property precincts featuring more than just traditional sheds and logistics. We’ve got more than 64 brands on-site ranging from URBNSURF Melbourne and Essendon Football Club to Porsche and Toll.   
 
“What really sets us apart as a property owner and developer is our ability to offer tenants round the clock access to international markets, with 24/7 security. We also provide convenient access to arterial roads, further supporting companies that need to transport goods quickly.”
 
Melbourne Airport CEO Lyell Strambi said the events of 2020 have made the airport shift focus away from traditional aviation-related revenue streams. “We’re firmly focused on expanding and diversifying our property precincts and look forward to partnering with many more quality tenants as we continue to grow the airport.”
