We measure the two-point correlation of free Voronoi volumes in binary disc packings, where the packing fraction $phi_{rm avg}$ ranges from 0.8175 to 0.8380. We observe short-ranged correlations over the whole range of $phi_{rm avg}$ and anti-correla
tions for $phi_{rm avg}>0.8277$. The spatial extent of the anti-correlation increases with $phi_{rm avg}$ while the position of the maximum of the anti-correlation and the extent of the positive correlation shrink with $phi_{rm avg}$. We conjecture that the onset of anti-correlation corresponds to dilatancy onset in this system.
