Section 9 - Ground Transport Plan - Melbourne Airport

Ground Transport Plan :: 9
Map 9.2 shows the distribution of existing and future passenger trips from greater metropolitan Melbourne to the airport.
This is a broad overview of how passenger trips from each area of Melbourne are expected to evolve over the next
20 years. The figure shows the percentage of total trips coming from each area of Melbourne now and in the future.
While passenger participation from rural and regional Victoria is lower in line with the state population distribution, it
remains important and significant. Map 9.3 gives a graphic indication of passenger distribution. This data was collected
during the latter years of the last decade as part of the Melbourne Airport Ground Travel Study and confirms the
distribution aligns with population density.

9.3.2 Employment
Melbourne Airport employees form a substantial component of the total transport demand. In 2013, around 14,300
employees generated approximately 23,000 vehicle trips per day. The number of employees supporting Melbourne
Airport’s growth is expected to increase to approximately 23,000 by 2033, with modelling suggesting this would
equate to 35,000 daily vehicle trips. Graph 9.5 shows the projected increases in employee traffic volumes between
2013 and 2033.
