Sydney Airport will re-open the former P1 car park site as ‘P1 Prime Park,’ a ground-level, open air self-parking facility between the T2 and T3 domestic terminals, just in time for the peak holiday season.

P1 Prime Park will be the closest and most convenient self-park option to the domestic terminals, featuring 460 standard parking bays, 9 disabled bays, 3 bays for small vehicles and 5 spaces for motorcycle parking.

The opening of P1 Prime Park will also improve pedestrian access and passenger flow in the precinct by linking the T2 and T3 domestic terminals with 145 metres of covered walkways, featuring landscaping and street furniture.

Further stages of the ground-level P1 Prime Park site will open in March 2025, increasing the final number of spaces to 534.

Kenn Langcake, Sydney Airport’s Head of Commercial Ground Transport, said: “We are really pleased to open P1 Prime Park just in time for the summer holiday peak and provide extra options for passengers.

“P1 Prime Park will provide an important boost to parking inventory at the airport, and it adds to the significant capacity we’ve built over the last two years, particularly for valet parking.

“Whether passengers prefer the value of Blu Emu, the convenience of valet, or the location of Prime Park, there’s a choice and an option to suit everyone.

“At this time of year, we would urge anyone who is keen to park at the airport to book ahead to secure their spot.”

The re-opening of P1 follows the launch in September 2024 of the Fast Park Valet located on the eastern side of the T2 domestic terminal, with capacity for more than 1,000 vehicles every day.

Notes to Editors

The former P1 car park, originally constructed in 1969, was closed in late 2022 and demolished after reaching the end of its useful life.

The long-term development pathway for the P1 site will be determined through Sydney Airport’s Master Plan process, which will go on public exhibition in 2025.
