Western Sydney Aerotropolis

The Western Sydney Aerotropolis will become a thriving economic centre in Western Sydney.

 

Benefiting from proximity to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, the Aerotropolis will contribute towards 200,000 new jobs in the Western Parkland City and become a high-skill jobs hub across aerospace and defence, manufacturing, healthcare, freight and logistics, agribusiness, education and research industries.

 

What's happening now?

  • The closing date for public exhibition of the draft Aerotropolis Precinct Plan, which includes the Aerotropolis Core, Badgerys Creek, Wianamatta-South Creek, Agribusiness and Northern Gateway Precincts has been extended.  The draft precinct plans are now on exhibition for community and stakeholder feedback until 26 February 2021.

Aerotropolis Core, Badgerys Creek and Wianamatta-South Creek Precincts

Planning for the Aerotropolis thinks about the landscape in which it sits and how we can connect a future thriving centre to the area’s water, culture, environment, landscape and economy. 

We’ve integrated planning for three precincts to support this landscape-led approach.
