Scope The projected economic and operational benefits to the city of Brisbane and the surrounding region in the proposal to create a new runway were clear. The proposed new runway would double the capacity of Brisbane Airport facilitating up to 50 million passengers by 2040 with that extra capacity predicted at the time of the original proposal to deliver 5 billion per year in regional economic benefit.The Australian Government approved Brisbane Airports 2020 Master Plan on 10 March 2020 that outlines information on all aspects of airport operations for the next two decades including investment and initiatives that may be required. The Brisbane Airport 2020 Master Plan contained planning for growth and facilitating Brisbane Airports future. The report covers growth in passenger numbers economic projections employment and Brisbane City construction projects. Brisbane Airports 2020 Master Plan outlined initial upgrades to both existing terminals before 2025 and then future northern and western terminals positioned in proximity to the new runway. Timeframes of the airport upgrade would move should Brisbane be confirmed as the host city for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games. The new northern terminal will be right in the middle between the two runways facing out towards the bay. The existing international terminal would remain in operation as airlines gradually shifted a new single new terminal and the repurposing of the existing international terminal would be known in 15 years however connected to the envisaged monorail link.
