The Australian Logistics Industry

  • Adds more than $130 billion to the

Australian economy each year.

  • This represents 8.6% of Australia’s GDP.
  • Employs 1.2 million Australians.
  • Every 1% efficiency improvement

boosts GDP by $2 billion.

Western Sydney & Our Growing Freight Task

  • Freight movements in Greater Sydney

projected to double in the next 40 years.

  • Container freight moving through Port

Botany expected to triple in the next 20 years.

  • Western Sydney a key destination for a

significant proportion of this freight.

The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy

  • Completion of a National Freight and Supply

Chain Strategy is a high priority for ALC.

  • Currently being developed, due to be finalised

in May 2019.

  • The Inquiry that will shape the Strategy made

important observations in relation to the Aerotropolis.

The Inquiry

  • Conducted throughout 2017,

guided by an Expert Panel.

  • 127 submissions, plus face-to-face

consultations.

  • First time that whole-of-supply-

chain issues examined from a national perspective.

The Inquiry & WSA

Supporting papers prepared for the Inquiry made key observations regarding WSA:

  • Will become a key freight hub;
  • Curfew-free status will be central to

attracting freight operators;

  • Transport links and intermodal
  • pportunities should be used to

attract development; and

  • Land use planning must ensure

effective buffer zones.

If You Build It, Will They Come?

  • No longer enough to believe that

business will automatically follow the infrastructure – you have to ‘build it right’.

  • Early delivery of enabling

infrastructure must be a priority in the first stages of the Aerotropolis’ development.

Immediate Priorities for Freight Logistics Sector

  • Protection of freight corridors (road

and rail) in and around the Aerotropolis is critical.

  • Proactive approach to preventing

road congestion in the region.

  • WSA must remain curfew free.

Delivering Enabling Infrastructure

  • A global freight hub requires the early provision of enabling

infrastructure.

  • Such infrastructure must be consistent with the goal of reduced road

congestion within the Aerotropolis.

  • Self-evidently, an airport will require jet fuel. Projections suggest 43

B-double tankers per day would be required to service fuel needs

  • nce operational.

Delivering Enabling Infrastructure (cont)

  • That runs contrary to the goal of reducing road congestion – so more

innovative solutions are called for.

  • One option is to transmit fuel to WSA via a constructed pipeline

from an existing port terminal to an adjacent storage facility to the Aerotropolis (with rail used as a back-up).

  • This would prevent added road congestion and enhance

environmental outcomes by removing need to haul fuel to WSA in heavy vehicles.

The Aerotropolis & Vehicles of the Future

  • Federal Government is already examining

ways to enhance uptake of electric vehicles.

  • Aerotropolis should incorporate large scale

charging facilities for use by passenger and commercial vehicles.

  • Must also ensure roads are designed to

accommodate Connected and Autonomous freight vehicles.
