My experience at SYD is that desks open about 3 hours 15 minutes before departure, sometimes a little earlier. There are often a lot of people waiting before the desks open with some confusion in respects to which queue they have joined.
Fortunately security is usually very quiet when BA16 is scheduled to depart. My last trip from SYD was just a few weeks ago.
