New international terminal opens at Sunshine Coast Airport

Sunshine Coast Council Newsletter - 28TH June 2012

Sunshine Coast Airport has begun a new chapter with the opening of its international terminal yesterday, just in time to accept the first-ever international scheduled passenger flight touching down on Sunday 1 July, from New Zealand.

The new terminal opens the way to further develop relationships with world tourism and business markets, to attract new business to the region and to assist existing businesses to expand and to export.

Recently completed works have added an extra 500 square metres to the domestic and international terminals by using cleverly designed moveable walls. The walls separate the international/domestic areas while international flight numbers are limited initially, and can be switched from domestic to international use and vice versa quickly and efficiently.

Sunshine Coast Airport is one of the three principal drivers of the Coast’s economy, along with Maroochydore city centre and the Sunshine Coast University Hospital precinct.

The latter is a $2 billion dollar development, and the portents for the Sunshine Coast business property market, including Coolum property and real estate is significant.
