Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) is all set to build one of the largest industrial projects in the airport’s history for Aramex Australia. The Airport Industrial Park will include construction of international courier business Aramex’s new 26,120sqm office and warehouse marking the first stage of development.
About 1500 workers will be employed for the construction of Aramex facility and once opened, the facility will employ 60 people with over 120 Courier Franchises operating from the site each day.
Martin Ryan, Brisbane Airport Corporation Executive General Manager Commercial, said: “We are excited to welcome Aramex to launch Airport Industrial Park with us. The size of this development highlights the potential for logistics and industrial development at Brisbane Airport at scale. With freight and logistics industries becoming increasingly important, the unrivalled transport links of Brisbane Airport offer an ideal home for companies providing these essential services.”
Jacob Marsters, General Manager, Aramex Brisbane said: “Brisbane Airport’s direct access to road and air transport means we can deliver our goods even more efficiently to customers. In our business, speed and efficiency are critical. That’s why being located at the Brisbane Airport precinct and connected to major arterial roads were key factors in our decision-making. The quick access to the northern, western and southern distribution networks, along with multiple access points in the precinct will be an advantage for our operations.”
This development is part of BAC’s 2,700-hectare overall lease holding, among the biggest sites under single ownership in SEQ and the premier gateway to Queensland. With Australia’s freight demand growing significantly tipped to rise 60% on pre-pandemic levels by 2040 according to government estimates Brisbane Airport is well-placed to meet demand for quality industrial land development.
