Melbourne Airport is preparing for significant growth, with a third runway, terminal expansions, and major changes to passenger access planned over the coming years.

In this highlight, Peter Greco speaks with Rosie Offord, Head of Planning at Melbourne Airport, about the airport's future and the upcoming public exhibition of the Melbourne Airport Master Plan.

Rosie explains how a projected increase in passenger numbers is driving more than $10 billion in infrastructure investment, including the airport's third runway, expanded international facilities, and changes to pick-up and drop-off arrangements for Terminals 1, 2 and 3 from October.

The discussion also explores accessibility, community consultation, and how people with disability, including those who are blind or have low vision, can help shape the future of Melbourne Airport through the consultation process.
