Newcastle Airport’s $14.5 million terminal redevelopment, of which $11.1 million was funded by the NSW Government’s Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund, was officially opened by Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter and Central Coast Scot MacDonald recently.
The opening marked the end of the 12-month build which expanded and refurbished the Newcastle Airport terminal. The completed works include: the extension of the terminal building by 50%; a brand new departure lounge and arrivals hall; dedicated facilities for customs, immigration, and quarantine to facilitate international services; and six new food and beverage outlets.
“Opportunities for investment into the region increase as the size of the airport increase,” said RDA Hunter CEO Todd Williams about the impact that the redevelopment of the airport will have on the Hunter’s economy.
