Qantas' partner lounge at DPS, previously known as the Premier Lounge, has had a significant renovation and is now branded the Tujuwan Lounge. It seems to have reopened at some stage in 2024, but I don't think it's been widely discussed on AFF outside a couple of brief mentions in Trip Reports.
Anyone who visited the old Premier Lounge would agree it was one of the worst in the Qantas network. Some elements remain (the footprint is the same, the food offering hasn't changed much, and the outdoor overflow mezzanine still exists) but there have been huge leaps in other areas:
As far as contract lounges go in SE Asia, I think this is a pretty solid offering and a long overdue improvement on the old lounge. It not going to win any awards but I wouldn't actively avoid this lounge anymore, like I think many AFF members did in the past.

- Four new showers which looked relatively clean
- The aircon is significantly stronger than before
- A staffed coughtail bar offers a much wider selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages (I seem to recall the old lounge simply had a fridge with soft drink and canned beer)
- There's a couple of private rooms for families
- The fitout is modern, bright, and seems to use more space-efficient furniture
