Western Sydney Airport Precincts Ready for Take-Off

Opportunities are emerging as work on two major mixed-use projects at one of the biggest developments in Australia begins…

Two major mixed-use precincts surrounding one of the biggest developments in Australia, Western Sydney’s new airport and its associated city Bradfield are about to take off.

At the site of the rising city, the NSW Government has made a “superlot” land release of 4.8ha for the private sector to bid for and develop sites upon.

The mixed-use zone has provision for 1000 homes, as well as commercial, childcare, hotel, retail, medical spaces and public domain, all on the doorstep of the Bradfield Metro Station.

Meanwhile at Western Sydney International another precinct is on the runway with businesses invited to join a greenfield business project.

WSI has established a 50/50 joint-venture partnership with Charter Hall to deliver the first stage of the precinct.

The 20ha mixed-use development will include up to 40,000sq m of modern warehouse space, a 150-room hotel, service station and convenience retail as well as gym and conference facilities. 

The announcements follow the exhibition of the Bradfield City Centre Master Plan earlier this year and the Western Sydney Airport Business Precinct Stage One Major Development Plan last year. 

The Nancy-Bird Walton Airport is on track to open to international, domestic and air cargo services in late 2026.

NSW minister planning Paul Scully said more than $1.2 billion has been committed to kickstart development of the state’s newest city.

“This is the first opportunity for the private sector to get involved as a flagship partner in the development of the new city,” Scully said.

“It is a huge opportunity to become a major player in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.”

WSI chief executive Simon Hickey said the airport would be the engine room for growth and development across the region, attracting billions of dollars of investment.

 “We’ll be getting on with the job of building the precinct over the coming months, with the first phase of works due for completion by the end of next year,” Hickey said.

“At that point, extensive testing of the airport will be under way as we prepare to welcome passengers and airlines in late 2026.”

Urban Taskforce chief executive Tom Forrest said he welcomed the state government announcement but said that there was more room for development in the greater area. 

“There are literally thousands of hectares between Campbelltown, Liverpool, Penrith and Bankstown that  are privately owned with industrial tenants and residential developments ready to go but simply waiting for infrastructure servicing by NSW Government agencies.”
