Businesses have the opportunity to establish operations within a rapidly expanding airport environment by leasing space in the Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct.

A range of modern office/warehouse facilities prominently positioned within the future 40-hectare world-class Commercial Precinct at 80 Beach Road in Avalon, with immediate access to air travel and freight at Melbourne, Avalon Airport, are available for pre-lease with practical completion scheduled for 2025.

Offerings within the Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct include sites ranging in size from two hectares to 40-plus hectares, with warehouses sized between 10,000sq m and 100,000sq m.

Interested parties have the capacity to secure long-term tenure, with leases of 10 to 30-plus years available.

Space in the Commercial Precinct is being leased by Melbourne Avalon Airport via Knight Frank agents Nathan Edgar, Joel Davy and Steve Jones.

Mr Edgar said Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct was one of the most significant opportunities of scale in a key strategic Victorian location, Melbourne, Avalon Airport.

“Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct offers prospective occupiers a unique opportunity to be part of a future prominent multi-use precinct and positioned among Australia’s leading occupiers including existing tenants Petstock, Cotton On, Hanwha Defense and Australia Post,” he said.

“Occupiers will also directly benefit from a 20-year major development plan at Melbourne, Avalon Airport which will expand the airport’s operations, as well as the establishment of non-aviation related developments.

“They will also find the excellent access to multi modal transport infrastructure extremely advantageous.”

Located just off the M1 Princes Freeway between Melbourne (approximately 50 km) and Geelong (approximately 20 km), Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct has excellent access to key road and rail freight networks including the Geelong Ring Road, the proposed Outer Metropolitan Ring Road, and the proposed Western Interstate Freight Terminal (WIFT).

Mr Davy said other key features of the Avalon Airport Commercial Precinct included direct access to the airport runway for airfreight opportunities, no zoning restrictions and shorter construction timeframes.

“It is also a very secure, with 24/7 onsite security and Melbourne Avalon Airport undertaking comprehensive security measures to ensure the surrounding precinct is safe for tenants and occupiers,” he said.

“Avalon’s location in the rapidly-growing Geelong-Wyndham corridor also delivers business access to a fast growing, highly educated and skilled local workforce throughout the site catchment.”

Dave Moreland, Chief Operations Officer Melbourne Avalon Airport, said: “With our catchment forecast to grow by 50% over the next 10 years, the unique location has access to a skilled workforce and audience for businesses. The precinct will over time become the centrepiece of a truly multi modal transport hub, making it ideal for businesses with e-commerce at their core.”
