The research findings were gathered from a questionnaire aimed at current businesses and a survey of BNE workers, which produced valuable insights from over 425 businesses and 1,000 airport workers.
Brisbane Airport’s status as a 24-hour global trade and commerce centre has seen it expand rapidly within retail, commercial and industrial sectors – with employees and businesses maintaining high satisfaction rates throughout key growth cycles.
Currently more than 4 out of 5 businesses who are established at Brisbane Airport indicate that performance at the vibrant commercial and lifestyle precinct is either very good or excellent.
Further research has found that 94 per cent of over 425 business sites recognise BNE as a stable or growing market opportunity.
With 90 per cent of current airport workers (out of the 24,000 employees that work on BNE or with BAC) also enjoy working at Brisbane Airport, while an impressive 98 per cent recognise the positive impact the area has on the Queensland economy.
BNE Property attribute this satisfaction to their own vision for a partnership between BAC and the growing, diverse tenant base at the airport.
BNE Property is responsible for guiding sustainable property development for Brisbane Airport and managing a property portfolio valued at over $1.3 billion, spread over 2,700 hectares – with upcoming projects set to continue growth for the precinct.
Over 500 hectares of land is available for landside development and the company is designing unique spaces and looking at opportunities which could potentially close their 0.9 per cent vacancy rate, currently the lowest in the country.
Work on the landmark Skygate Home & Life Centre began at Brisbane Airport in November 2017, encompassing 9,260 square metres of large format retail space and becoming one of the latest additions to the BNE Property portfolio.
