Ceduna Airport in Shape for the Future

Print This Article

The district council of Ceduna in South Australia requested a concept and detailed design for a new terminal building for the city’s airport. The GHD design and planning layout for the terminal building caters for a peak load of more than 200 people and makes allowances for any future expansion by maintaining operational continuity throughout the facility.

The circulation spaces provide for efficient and unfettered movement. They are based on a logical relationship between patrons and the services they need to use. In keeping with strict security requirements, the concept design maintains a clear distinction between public and secure spaces. There is also allowance for baggage screening processes, should they be required in the future.

The design philosophy used by GHD focuses on the natural attractions of the Ceduna region, with its open flat plains and coastline. This is reflected in the simple pavilion form of the building, the skillion roofline, material selection and natural light.

The building was designed with environmental considerations in mind and complies with the Green Building Council of Australia’s energy conservation requirements.
