1.0 Introduction
Brisbane Airport is among the biggest and busiest airports within Australia. It first
opened in 1988 and since then, it provides services to millions of passengers every year.
However, with continuous operations and rise in the number of passengers, the airport has slowly
becoming degraded and less efficient. Hence, a technical upgradation was needed for a long
time. In 2014, the Brisbane Airport Commission implemented the Brisbane Airport Master Plan
in order do a complete renovation of the Brisbane Airport by upgrading all its technical features.
The Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) has some clear visions for the prospect of the airports
and its improvement. The Master Plan of Brisbane Airports 2014 would implement all these
visions of BAC and yield an Airport for that implies forecasting requests of improvement and a
solid representation of growth in between 2014 and 2034. It is delivered at regular intervals as a
major aspect of a statutory prerequisite, while likewise going about as a critical channel of data
about the development of the airport to industry, government, business and neighborhood more
extensive community. The development scheme includes the $1 billion of investment that BAC
had used and the $2.5 billion that will be put as resources into flying and non-avionics
foundation and administrations throughout the following decade. BAC has arranged four Master
Plans since taking responsibility for airport in 1997. The Brisbane Airport 2014 Master Plan
mirrors BAC's sense of duty regarding maintainability over all parts of the airport's operation.
Each activity and activity depends on, and measured by, an arrangement of particular
improvement goals intended to accomplish adjust crosswise over social, operational, natural and
economic aspects.

2.0 Needs Definition
In order to define the needs of the project, four specific factors are to be defined
regarding the project. These factors are as follows.
Economic Sustainability – The Brisbane Airport has been built in Queensland and it has
seen huge number of footfalls on daily basis. BAC is focused on proceeding with its reputation
of building framework for the future and conveying solid money related outcomes (Buxton &
Chandu 2016). In doing as such, Brisbane Airport will keep on supporting more extensive
economic improvement and employments development for Queensland, Brisbane, and Australia.
The pathways for conveying solid money related development BAC receives incorporate
particular and convenient advancement, differing income streams and productive utilization of
budgetary and operational assets.
Environmental Sustainability – The main foundation of the Brisbane Airport
Commission is the Brisbane Airport and it implies the operational and advancement developed
by Brisbane Airport Commission for the operations. The amplification of the water, energy, and
waste efficiencies while overlooking the impact of the issues and other problems. The
maintenance of the objectives would help in adjusting the assembled conditions. The simplifying
of the biodiversities would form the esteemed and highly accomplished practices for the best of
the urban and fictitious planning development.
Operational Sustainability – The safe and secured functions of the airport is a primary
concern for the project and it would require the formation of the supplementary objectives and
the requirement of the aviation industry development. The Brisbane Airport is one of the busiest
centres used for the conveyance of the people. The business development and the implication of

the advanced processes for the airport are being developed with the help of the primary
resources. The use of the basic resources would help in guaranteeing the development of the
airport operations. Brisbane Airport Commission has been keen to extend the airport for forming
the benefit of conveyance at the airport and the terminals.
Social Sustainability – Brisbane Airport Commission are in charge of the operations of
the Brisbane Airport and their operations is primarily focus on the development and the support
for the manufacturing of the improved functions at Brisbane Airport. The development of the
Brisbane airport would involve the empowerment of the successive modification and
implementation. The exhibition of the project would help in simplifying the deployment of the
process.

» Utility redesigns.
The control system of Brisbane Airport requires the use of the exhaustive EMS or
Environmental Management System. The Brisbane Airport Commission has incorporated the
EMS and it had resulted in keeping the deployment of the Airport consistent with the systems of
the Australian Operations. The systematic implementation of the EMS with the objectives of
Brisbane Airport Commission would help in achieving the aspects of the airport operations. The
attenuation of the world class EMS would help in achieving the developed sustainability and
environmental friendly operations for Brisbane Airport (Sieverts, 2014). The reports of Airport
Acts have explained that the AES had shaped the development of the master plan for Brisbane
Airports. The development of EMS and its deployment of Brisbane Airport Commission had
distinguished the risk analysis and it had formed the operations of overseeing the dangers by
developing effective plan of action (Bridges & Gudgin, 2014). The AES would exclude the
contamination of the air and noise due to the machine flying and isolated enhancements.

Brisbane Airport is among the biggest and busiest airports in Australia. It first opened in
1988 and since then, it provides services to millions of passengers every year. However, with
continuous operations and rise in the number of passengers, the airport has slowly becoming
degraded and less efficient. Hence, a technical up gradation was needed for a long time. In this
report, the proposed projects for technical upgrades have been presented in this report.
