Ok, just got off the phone to the coordinator...
It's often a case of Qantas not having room in the Jet Base so they request it be left at a spare bay. Sometimes a spare bay is available, other days it's not and Qantas have to make room in the Jet Base.
It typically doesn't operate any particular flight after laying over for the day, so could be used for the QF11, or 31 flight etc. Today the aircraft parked on Bay 24 (arrived as QF12 VH-OQD) will tow to Bay 5 soon and be used on the QF31 tonight (1710 departure off Bay 9).
Hope this helps clear it up.
