Western Sydney’s Aerotropolis is set to take off, with the opening of the first building at Bradfield City Centre.
Additionally, the NSW government released its infrastructure delivery plan, driving further investment into the region.
NSW Premier Chris Minns said the Aerotropolis spans nearly 40 times the area of Sydney’s CBD, presenting an unparalleled economic opportunity for Western Sydney.
“We’re backing the region with over $25 billion of infrastructure investment that is going to ensure the critical roads and services are delivered as quickly as possible to give industry certainty and confidence to invest in the area,” Minns said.
The Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) is the first step in delivering the new city of Bradfield at the heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, and the beginning of an ecosystem that will boost the NSW manufacturing industry.
A partnership agreement between the AMRF and 11 NSW and ACT universities will accelerate the evolution of this ecosystem by merging the universities’ research capabilities with the AMRF’s industrial expertise and infrastructure.
Under the agreement, the involved parties will collaborate to translate research into practical applications and foster the development of future manufacturing professionals through a paid internship program.
The NSW government has released the Aerotropolis Sector Plan to facilitate further growth in the precinct.
“We asked Infrastructure NSW to develop the Aerotropolis Sector Plan to identify how and when we will do this,” Minns said.
The plan will provide certainty to the industry, the community, and all levels of government regarding the sequencing and prioritising of infrastructure developments in the Aerotropolis.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney, Prue Car, said Western Sydney is a diverse region, poised for significant growth within the upcoming opening of the new airport.
“With Bradfield and the Aerotropolis, we’re giving kids in Western Sydney the opportunity to dream about a future with high-quality jobs close to home,” she said.
The initiative aims to enhance competitiveness with the state and significantly increase the supply of serviced land to address the critical shortage across NSW.
It will also assist planning assessment authorities in ensuring development aligns with the region’s infrastructure capacity.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Paul Scully, said the building’s opening signifies the progress being made in developing Australia’s first new city in more than a century.
“This is just the beginning of Bradfield’s future growth as it evolves into a world-class city with 10,000 homes, 20,000 high-quality jobs, and critical green open spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy,” he said.
With the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport expected to open by the end of 2026, investments in Bradfield City Centre and the surrounding Aerotropolis will capitalise on this pivotal moment.
