There are slot limits that regulate that. This is just a policy to benefit domestic airlines while encouraging flights to airports other than Sydney and Melbourne.
If Melbourne had unlimited capacity for flights, yes. But that’s where the free market stuff tends to fail in reality, it works if you assume a market without natural limits, but not otherwise.

But a free market solution would be the airport increasing its prices until the demand at those prices matches how much capacity they have.
