Does anyone know if the upgraded Emirates lounge has opened at Perth International?

Does anyone know if the upgraded Emirates lounge has opened at Perth International? If not, when it is scheduled to open. Someone mentioned to me that it will provide direct gate access from the lounge - does anyone know if this is the case?

Not sure about direct gate access or has it opened. It appears that the new lounge is located one floor down  from where the current (old) lounge is/was.

Also there will be a new gate (Gate 50), according to the new Perth airport maps. I believe this will open when the new Virgin arm opens (22 Nov) or after.

Found a couple a pics on the Channel 7 twitter account showing the new derparture area and emirates lounge
