City-Shaping Sydney Aerotropolis Plan Released

The Western Sydney Aerotropolis Plan has been released by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

The 11,200-hectare greenfield development will transform jobs, growth and housing for the area, with the connected Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird) Airport at the core.

Offering a diversity of jobs across aerospace and defence industries, agribusiness, health, education, tourism and other sectors the Western Sydney Aertropolis aims to create a vibrant new community.

Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the Aerotropolis will be Sydney’s newest economic hub and “will be a 30-minute city, where people live close to jobs, schools, health services and high-quality open space,” Mr Stokes said.

“With construction of the airport underway, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a brand new city, and we want the community to be part of the process.

“We’re getting on with the job of planning for a new city to make sure that land around the airport will be ready to build on well before the first plane takes off.”

Western Sydney Airport has selected Aurecon for engineering design services with a Lendlease and CPB Contractors joint venture chosen for the airport’s earthworks.

The A$5.3bn Western Sydney Airport will be built in four stages. When opened in 2026, it will be equipped to handle up to ten million passengers a year.
