Brun said the Western Sydney Airport (WSA) is referenced on numerous occasions in the Aviation Green Paper, while Melbourne Avalon Airport has a larger catchment area and is forecast to reach 4.6 million people by 2036. He said the western Melbourne-Geelong corridor is also home to the Port of Melbourne, Port of Geelong and the base of the nation's most significant industry, warehousing and logistics industries.
