Do you suggest the airport just puts all these (especially the essential works) on the back-burner?

Gee the 2 most important airports in OZ BNE & MEL seem to manage.
Oh forgot NSW is "run" by hopeless public servants. Glad I don't live in SYD.

Melbourne also managed to get its main runway closed 24/7 for around 6 weeks straight to facilitate A380 upgrade and resurfacing works. Sydney doesn't have that luxury and in fact it can't be closed full length for even one night anymore (there used to be provision for 1 Saturday night per month for a full length closure).
Melbourne and Brisbane also don't have the Federal Transport Minister living on their doorstep either. And nor are those airports as much a political hot potato as Sydney is.
