Enhancing your journey through T3 Domestic

Sydney Airport is upgrading the retail experience at T3 Domestic terminal (T3), with a renewed focus on elevated dining, contemporary design and premium retail to deliver a positive passenger experience.

This upgrade is designed to meet the needs of passengers, from frequent flyers to business travellers and families, by creating a welcoming and relaxing retail precinct.

The works will be staged from April to late 2025, and we’re working hard to minimise disruption, with many upgrades occurring overnight during curfew hours to ensure the travel experience remains smooth.

What's changing at T3 Domestic?

We’re creating a brand-new dining precinct with a standout bistro, casual eateries and grab-and-go favourites. There’ll be more choice with something to suit every taste and travel schedule.

Fresh Look and Feel

The terminal is getting a modern makeover with new dining venues, shopfronts and enhanced wayfinding – all designed to enhance the passenger experience and make it easier for passengers to get where they need to go.

Environmentally friendly furniture and fittings will be featured throughout with additional greenery to create a relaxing setting.

The upgrade will roll out in stages:

April 2025: Food and beverage precinct closes for construction
July 2025: Construction period
Late 2025: New venues expected to open in time for the peak summer travel period.

Temporary food offerings will be available throughout construction to ensure passenger convenience.
