6. Airport land use AND
PRECINCT DEVELOPMENT
About this Chapter
The Perth Airport Estate comprises 2,105 hectares of
land. The site plan at Figure 6.1 shows the current airport
configuration and important aviation related facilities.
This Master Plan 2009 retains the precincts identified in the
Master Plan 2004 including:
• Aviation Precincts: Airfield Precinct, General Aviation
Precinct and Terminal Precincts;
• Conservation Precincts: two in number; and
• Commercial Precincts: five in number.
These land use precincts are shown on the site plan at Figure 6.2.
This chapter of the Master Plan 2009 describes the current
and intended land uses within each of these precincts.
Chapter 7 describes the anticipated developments in each
precinct over the 20 years of the Master Plan and provides
an indicative ultimate configuration for Perth Airport (fully
developed).
6.1 Perth Airport Land Use Precincts
Aviation Precincts
Airfield Precinct
The Airfield Precinct comprises all infrastructure required
for the movement of aircraft, including runways, taxiways,
aprons for aircraft parking and terminal interface, navigation
aids and facilities for aviation fire and rescue services. There
is sufficient land in the Airfield Precinct to accommodate all
required aircraft movement infrastructure for the ultimate
configuration of Perth Airport.
Runways
There has been no change to the runway configuration
during the period of the Master Plan 2004. Existing runways
comprise a primary north south runway (03L/21R), 3,444
metres long and a secondary north east south west runway
(06/24), 2,163 metres long.
Taxiways
Minimal extensions of the taxiway system were undertaken
during the period of the Master Plan 2004. These are
depicted in the Airfield Precinct Plan at Figure 6.1.
Aprons
There were extensive increases in the aircraft parking and
terminal interface aprons during the period of the Master
Plan 2004 to cater for significant increased aviation activity.
These are depicted in the Airfield Precinct Plan at Figure 6.1.
Navigation Aids and Facilities for Aviation Fire and
Rescue Services
There were no material changes to navigation aids or aviation
fire and rescue facilities in the Airfield Precinct during the
period of the Master Plan 2004.
6.2 Terminal Precincts
The Terminal Precincts are depicted in the Terminal Precinct
Plan at Figure 7.3.
International
The International Precinct is located on the eastern side of the
airfield and includes the following aviation related facilities:
• International Terminal and terminal forecourt for
passenger drop off and collection, staff, short term and
long-term car parking facilities, rental car facilities, taxi
and bus access facilities.
• Air traffic control tower.
• Aviation support facilities, including flight catering,
aircraft refuelling and international air freight operations.
Domestic
The Domestic Precinct is located on the western side of the
airfield and includes the following aviation related facilities:
• Two Domestic Terminals, one leased to and operated by
Qantas (Terminal 2) and a multi user terminal (Terminal 3)
operated by Perth Airport. These terminals share a common
forecourt which caters for public pick up and drop off and
access to public transport. Premium, short-term, valet car
parking facilities together with rental car facilities are all
located proximate to the terminals. Less proximate but still
within the precinct are several long-term car parks and staff
car parking which are supported by a shuttle bus service to
and from the terminals.
• Aviation support facilities, including aircraft refuelling,
office accommodation for airlines, airport administration,
airport maintenance, air freight and logistics operations.
