A ground level carpark. Relatively cheap to build, relatively easy to build on top of. These things don't need to exist forever.
The nature of large precincts such as the airport means that you can't build everything in its final form all at once. It goes like this:
Demolish some old sheds and buildings. Move the carpark from outside of the new terminal footprint to new ground level carpark. Expand the terminal. Airport usage increases with more flights and passengers. Demand for parking increases and reaches critical point. Build second multi-story carpark. Ground level carpark closed and new business precinct built in its place.
This might take 15 years to follow through but it means that there is always progress and development underway
I’ll be interested to know whether they plan on extending the terminal to the north-east or the south-west near the control tower.
I swear they’ve already extended the the terminal to the north-east already though, and if you look at the master plan, the north-east side looks pretty much finished.
Maybe it has to be the south-west

Apparently Batik Air will be suspending flights out of Adelaide from July, citing low passenger loads as the reason for stopping services. This now leaves Jetstar as the only direct flight after Virgin suspended services due to lack of aircraft.

This is good news as this is a sometimes-forgotten route, having lived in WA for 9 years previously. Let's hope Rex can be profitable because they are really the only airline that can keep the current duopoly in check with pricing.
Rex's fares between Sydney and Adelaide are very competitive indeed.
