Exclamation Sydney Carparks Closed

Hi all,
Have heard some rumours that the domestic and international car parks have been closed for spotting?
Are any locals able to confirm please?

Cheers.

There are large signs stating no photography. Rydges is apparently looking at opening up their balcony again.

Shame if that’s the case.

I admit I haven't visited P6 for quite a while. Security were very active after the incidents early last years, and the railings raised soon after.

It would be a real pity if the actions of idiots ruined things for everyone - yet again....

I have seen many a instagram story from the young spotters out there doing some very bad things. Why the AFP never came up and arrested these people I am not sure.

The younger generation has been causing all the problems lately, even in Melbourne. Time to grow up and have respect for the property they spot on or in. Or Ozzie airports will shut all access to spotters down.

I think you will find that the “young people” in question are only in question as a result of someone spreading garbage on social media. What they were allegedly doing would hardly be in Sydney Airports radar.

I think you will find the simple answer is that after a few successful suicide attempts and (likely) some unsuccessful one, Sydney Airport is mitigating the risk and closing carpark access for pedestrians and spotters

Correct.

To prevent speculation;
- Recent unsafe behaviour has accelerated Sydney Airport's plan to address a wholistic approach to safety in P6.
- Suicide prevention measures is one component in their safety plans.

If and when I have more information to share re P6, I may update this post.
