Gold Coast Airport Revelopment

ADCO was engaged by the Gold Coast Airport Corporation to manage the design and construction of the major extension to Coolangatta Airport. The $110 million project doubled the size of the existing terminal, with major extensions to both the air and landside components totalling more than 19,000m².

In addition to new domestic and international travel facilities, the project included a major retail component, including food courts to entertainment areas, airline lounges, baggage handling and back of house facilities, communications and security systems upgrades and new accommodation for the Australian Federal Police, Australian Customs and the Department of Immigration.

ADCO’s project team successfully planned and managed the staging and programming of the development to ensure that the functionality and operational capacity of the extremely busy airport were maintained throughout the construction process.
