Executive Traveller are reporting that EK have added a second daily flight to/from MEL. I have a reservation in June for EK409 (QF8409) which was originally the evening departure ex-MEL but which has now changed to the early morning service. I am pleased to report that the flight number on my reservation has been automatically changed to EK407 (the new code for the evening departure) on the the Emirates app. Fingers crossed that they have not repeated the same mistake as they did when the second SYD service was added and many correspondents on this thread had to call QF to get rebooked at their preferred time.
