This is related to the suburban loop proposal, however Melbourne Airport just released plans on expansion.
37 million passengers p/a (we are literally an end of line airport in the international network) and the international terminal (T2) is getting expanded. A few weeks ago, a private-led proposal, by the operator of the airport, came up with the AirRail Melbourne proposal for the Melbourne Airport Rail Link (which has its own public study underway that will no doubt hook into the Suburban Rail Loop study if current state government is re-elected) and released this station render at the time:
And with the release of the Airport's other expansion plans, we now have more context for the AirRail Melbourne Airport station:
Fully expect this to change slightly - because state government has a) an election b) an active Airport link study and c) if they are re-elected (a), their election proposals will impact on the Airport link (b).
Confused yet? Yeah, welcome to Victorian transport planning 101.
