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 Independent Community Commissioner Professor Roberta Ryan has released her report on the Western Sydney Aerotropolis to the Minister of Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes.

 

The NSW Government appointed Professor Ryan as the Independent Community Commissioner in May 2021 to help address the concerns of landowners in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

 

You can read the report and the NSW Government’s initial response at the Independent Community Commissioner's page.

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.
