Four new hard stands have been constructed at the western end of the international terminal. Each one is capable of accommodating Boeing aircraft, with one also able to accept the Airbus A, which came into service late in The concrete of the hard standings is mm thick and contains a matrix of drainage channels and fuel and electrical lines to enable aircraft servicing at the site.
This was completed by December Initially, passengers using the four new hard stands were transported to their flights by bus. A new walkway link now connects the international terminal building to the hard stands. This link is split level, resembling the new expanded existing pier, and includes travelators to optimise the flow of traffic. This new walkway, which came into service in early , links to the second international pier. Work began in January on a new four-level car park at the airport.
The new building is located opposite the domestic terminal and is able to accommodate vehicles and new car rental facilities. The new car park connects to the domestic terminal by a footbridge, which connects to the Qantas and Air New Zealand areas of the terminal.
The Qantas and Air New Zealand domestic terminals have also undergone renovations, with a new retail precinct and food and drink concessions and an overall complete revamp.
They include a new baggage handling facility, expanded security points, an additional covered car park, additional space and new floor-to-ceiling glass windows increasing the amount of natural light and allowing flights to be observed by the passengers.

The domestic terminal gates 22 and 24 at the western end were updated for arriving and departing passengers flying by Pacific Blue.
