The Federal Government is looking to halve the proposed capacity for their Pinkenba quarantine facility in Queensland, due to the ease in travel restrictions.
This decision comes after the state suggested international arrivals could quarantine at home sooner than expected.
Originally designed to house 1000 people, Finance Minister Simon Birmingham has said the quarantine facility will evolve to suit the needs of Queenslanders, with the facility now only being built for 500.
The construction is predicted to be completed by April next year and aims to boost long-term pandemic response capability.
