The tough thing for any new Airport, particularly if it were to be for Domestic ops is the proxcimity to the CBD. One of the best things going for YSSY is how close it is to town. Straight away, anything else will be a disadvantage to domestic business travellers, probably the most frequent users of the port (my view and unsubstantiated, BTW)
Despite, the 380 thing already in place (really, anyone would think that Australian Aviation now revolves around the whalejet), I believe it would be better to relocate future International ops to a potentially new Airport further away.
