This first tower was dismantled in 1962 when the second tower was built.
NOTE: The square black box hanging from the tower gantry was an indicator to pilots that the Tower was manned – and therefore they would need to talk to the Tower for a clearance.

The terminal was later significantly rebuilt to become Terminal 3 (used by Skywest, Virgin Australia, Alliance and Tiger Airways Australia).
The 1962 control tower was demolished at the end of March 2011.
