Just got an email on the closures of the lounge in MEL and BNE during the refurb:
As a valued Virgin Blue and The Lounge Guest, I'd like to take this opportunity to inform you of some of the changes we'll be making in the next few months.
You may already be aware that Virgin Blue is increasing our commitment to our business, government and frequent flyers, and as a result we are putting more focus on developing the products and services that you value most. As part of this focus, we will be expanding and significantly improving our Lounge facilities in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The changes will enhance the comfort and space, and incorporate fresh new food options throughout the day, providing you with a more exclusive and refreshing Lounge experience.
To achieve this, a substantial refurbishment programme commences in February 2011 for a two to three month period, during which time we will operate from temporary Lounge facilities in both Melbourne and Brisbane. The Sydney Lounge will continue to operate through the renovation period without major disruption.
The Melbourne Lounge refurbishment commences 04 February 2011 and will be staged, allowing us to continue to operate in the existing facility. The Lounge will close for approximately two weeks during refurbishment to allow for intensive works. During this short period of closure we will offer complimentary food and beverage vouchers for members departing Melbourne. You will receive a subsequent email with closure dates and service information closer to the time.
The Brisbane Lounge refurbishment will commence between the end of February and the beginning of March. The existing Lounge will close for the duration of works, and a separate facility will operate during refurbishment.
While the temporary facilities will be restricted in the range of services available, we will continue to offer bar and barista service and refreshments throughout the day. The temporary Lounges will also provide lounge, dining, and some business facilities for your convenience, together with complimentary WIFI access. Meeting rooms will not be available in Melbourne and Brisbane during the refurbishment programme, but will be available at all other Lounges.
I apologise for the inconvenience that may be caused due to these Lounge works, but assure you that we will do everything we can to ensure a continued enjoyable Lounge experience. I will provide you with further updates on the Lounge development programme and service information over coming months. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please direct them to The Lounge team on [email protected] or 1300 287 202.

. Having family in CBR, and planning to travel frequently to SYD and MEL in the near future, a lounge at OOL would be great. Also agree with your comments on ANZ alliance and increasing levels of business happening in OOL, which would lock DJ/VA as the airline of choice for corporates.
