PERTH AIRPORT Master Plan 2009

Access to Commercial Precinct 2 has progressed generally
in line with previous master planning. The constraints
associated with the Leach Highway interchange may impact
on future access arrangements into this precinct.
Precinct 3 is serviced by Kalamunda and Abernethy Roads,
both with good connectivity to the regional road network.
Ultimately the Lloyd Street extension will intersect with the
Great Eastern Highway Bypass at Abernethy Road to form a
diamond interchange in line with current State Government
planning.
Precinct 3 is located adjacent to the residential areas of
Hazelmere and High Wycombe and this proximity raises an
additional challenge for the development of this precinct and
in particular access to the future developments.
Perth Airport has worked with the Department for Planning,
Main Roads WA, the City of Swan and Shire of Kalamunda
as well as local interest groups to establish a road layout that
meets the needs of all stakeholders as well as protecting
the nearby residential community of Hazelmere and High
Wycombe from through-traffic.
The design standards, road and intersection layouts that
provide access in and out of Precinct 3 and integration with
the future upgrades of Abernethy Road by State and Local
Governments has been developed and agreed.
Access to Precinct 4 can be provided via roads such as
Dubbs Close, Hudswell Place and Grogan Road, all of which
have direct connectivity to Abernethy Road and in turn the
regional road network. The Grogan Road link to Abernethy
Road was constructed and funded by WAC to ensure access
to the Commercial Precinct is at the required level.
8.5 Car Parking
Short-term car parks are located proximate to both the
Domestic and International Terminals, these facilities are
configured for customers wishing to park for less than twenty
four hours.
Long-term car parks are provided in both the Domestic and
the International Precincts. These are less proximate to the
terminals and are suited for customers who park for periods
longer than twenty four hours. Passengers using these car
parks are provided a free high quality shuttle bus service
to the terminals with an average bus wait time of eight
minutes. Before boarding the bus passengers are able to
check in for Qantas services and wait in an air conditioned
facility that includes flight information display screens and
real time updates on next bus arrival. During 2008 and 2009
approximately 2,000 new long-term parking bays were
constructed in the Domestic Terminal Precinct, with another
2,000 planned to be built before the end of 2010.
The locations of these car parks and their capacity are shown
in Figures 8.3 and 8.4
Staff car parks are located at both the domestic and
international precincts. In the domestic precinct the staff
parking is provided in two locations, the first is within
walking distance of the terminals and the second is located
adjacent to a long-term car park. This long term car park is
serviced by a regular shuttle bus which is in service 24 hours
a day. The car park at the international precinct is adjacent to
the international terminal and is within walking distance of
the terminal.
The General Aviation Precinct is serviced by a 2000 bay
carpark which caters for short and long-term parking needs
for the operators’ customers and staff in this precinct.
