Last time I was there (BTCC media day last week), the pedestrian tunnel under the start/finish straight was closed but you could still get thought the Esses tunnel and walk around the Melbourne Loop back to the paddock.
Tunnel at Coppice was open to pedestrians, although there was a trailer parked in the entrance and temp barriers nearby suggesting it may have been closed at some point. The 'new' vehicle tunnel near McLeans exits outside of the circuit gate so you can't use that to walk between outside and in-field.
New grandstand at Hollywood is significantly bigger than the one infield of the start line. Wasn't open when I was there but suspect the view will be pretty impressive.
The old Paddock Suite building between the pit land and parc ferme was re-opened over the BSB Easter weekend meeting as a bar/restaurant called 'Garage 39'. Guessing that the the long-overdue replacement for Redgate Lodge. Old paddock dinner is still open as well.
