Latest News About Perth Airport Terminal 1

Here’s the latest I can summarize from recent reporting and official updates:

• Perth Airport has been planning a major redevelopment around Terminal 1 as part of its broader “One Airport” program. The project includes expanding Terminal 1 facilities, adding a new domestic terminal, and related airside works, with public comment on the draft plans open through early 2024–2025 timelines and anticipated opening around 2031, depending on airline agreements and construction schedules.[1][6]
• There have been ongoing construction-related milestones and related capital works around the airport as part of the same program, with multiple components (aprons, taxiways, interconnects, and a new terminal precinct) being developed to centralize commercial passenger services in Airport Central.[2][1]
• In 2026, Terminal 1 experienced a security-related disruption: an unattended item led to a temporary lockdown and flight delays, with authorities lifting the exclusion zone and operations resuming as investigations concluded; travelers faced disrupted schedules during the incident.[3][10]

If you’d like, I can pull the most current public documents (e.g., Perth Airport master plan updates or the latest development plan summaries) and summarize the key timelines, scope, and passenger impact. I can also format a short timeline or a simple map-style overview. Would you prefer a concise timeline or a focused update on Terminal 1’s capacity and opening projections?
