You could always go through the official channels and do some airside photography...

Filming and photography – fees
A fee is levied in advance for filming and photography activity undertaken for commercial gain. The full amount of the fee will be notified by SACL after an application is received and before the activity commences. No filming or photography will be permitted until the applicable fee is paid, unless prior arrangements have been made with the Community Affairs Officer. Fees are as follows:
Photography (still) terminal: $300 per hour + gst
Photography (still) airside: $650 + gst first hour, $600 + gst per hour thereafter
Filming terminal: $500 + gst first hour, $450 + gst per hour thereafter
Filming airside: $650 + gst first hour, $600 + gst per hour thereafter

Should specific SACL personnel or services be required to undertake the activity, a further fee may be levied. Depending on location and duration of the activity, an additional fee may also be imposed to cover the additional deployment of security or safety personnel.
Or perhaps you might want to try Newcastle Airport...

You'll probably get the shots you want, and if they're good enough you can sell them to cover the cost of the airside access!
