Naarm Way - Stage 2 project
Early works are underway on the Naarm Way Stage 2 project, which will provide a direct connection from the Tullamarine Freeway to new dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones in the Terminal 1,2 & 3 Car Park (T123)
These works will result in a reduction in the amount of car parking spots available in the Value and T123 Car Parks. We encourage travellers to book online for the best rates.
We'll keep you informed of any planned disruptions through our website to help you plan your trip, whether you're choosing to park, use public transport, or get picked up or dropped off.
At present, there are currently no changes to pick-up and drop-off zones. They continue to operate as usual.
Schedule for parking space closures
The schedule of works will result in a reduction in the amount of car parking spots available in the Value and Terminal 123 Car Parks. We encourage travellers to book early and book online for the best rates.
While there will be fewer parking spaces overall, particularly during peak periods, travellers will still be able to take advantage of Melbourne Airport’s Value Car Park rate of just $12 a day, which covers almost two-thirds of the car parking bays available across the precinct.
The schedule for parking space closures and openings is:
February 2024
Value Car Park: 500 bays temporarily closed (which is only 2% of all spots)
June 2024
T123 Car Park: the process begins to gradually close 1400 bays over 12 months (which is 7% of all spots, 100% of spots in T4 remain open)
July 2024
Value Car Park: additional 100 bays close (taking the total to 600 temporary bay closures, which is only 3% of all spots)
April 2025
Value Car Park: 100 bays re-opened
January 2026
New pick up and drop off lanes open (Final date TBC)
Potential impact on travellers in 2024
We anticipate that this project will require travellers to add an additional 15 minutes to their travel time. In addition, there will be a reduction in the amount of car parking available across most of our car parks. It is advised that you book online and ahead of time.
