Qantas Domestic Lounge redevelopment in Melbourne

We've begun construction on our new Domestic Lounges in Melbourne.

To make way for the upgraded lounges, the current Qantas Club will be reduced in size during construction. Customer space will be limited and there will be some temporary changes to guest access policy in the Melbourne Qantas Club.

Qantas Gold Frequent Flyers and Qantas Club members will be permitted to access the Melbourne Qantas Club, however no guests will be permitted during peak hours (from 5am through to 9am and from 3pm through to 7pm). At all other times Qantas Club normal guest access policy applies, subject to lounge availability.

Paper and digital complimentary invitations are unable to be used at Melbourne Qantas Club during this period.

A Grab and Go offering will be available during construction, providing an easy and convenient access to a selection of coffee and light snacks.

We appreciate your patience during the construction period and look forward to welcoming you into our new lounges.

By "Paper and digital complimentary invitations are unable to be used at Melbourne Qantas Club during this period." do they mean the aforementioned peak periods each day, or just "the period" of renovations?

Booked an reward economy ticket for my brother for Wednesday 5:10pm MEL-CBR and transferred a complimentary lounge pass for him to use - but not sure if he'll be able to? If not, would a polite call to the Qantas Club prior to his arrival and the fact that I booked for him as a WP be able to sneak him in? Am I being too optimistic?
