If anything a tractor drawn baggage cart would arrive sooner than a conveyor anyway

My boys came in from Brisbane on a premium airline, took 1 hour for the bags to arrive
When the airport first opened in 1997 it was a challenge to get to the carousel before the bags arrived, sadly no more
It seems they do not employ enough staff who are overcome when several planes arrive around the same time, of their equipment is breaking down
and this is with two runways
God knows what will happen when they build the third runway
1998.
