Minns Government boosting Western Sydney’s Industrial future
The Minns Government is supporting jobs and investment for Western Sydney with the approval of a new $139 million warehousing estate that will create more than 600 jobs within the booming Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
The 19.4 hectare estate has been approved as a State Significant Development and will offer a diverse range of warehousing options from around 1,000 square metres up to 30,000 square metres, with a total of more than 63,500 square metres of floor area spread across seven buildings.
In addition to the warehousing use, the development also proposes an onsite café, ancillary office spaces, an estate road network, two landscaped open space areas, stormwater management works, signage, waterway rehabilitation, car parking and infrastructure installation, as well as estate wide landscaping.
The development is one of the first in the Aerotropolis and would support its growth by providing crucial logistics and warehousing space.
The Barings Luddenham Industrial Park will create 250 ongoing roles and 390 construction jobs close to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport due to open in 2026.
The approval follows the recent approval of Bradfield City’s Central Park and the opening of the First Building.
The NSW Government has invested more than $1 billion to kickstart Bradfield City Centre, providing the early commercial buildings, infrastructure, and services needed to unlock billions in private development that will create more than 10,000 new homes and 20,000 new jobs.
There are also currently $14 billion worth of private development applications in the pipeline for the whole aerotropolis that would create 120,000 jobs.
Construction of the new industrial estate will begin mid-2025, with the first warehouse expected to open in December 2026.
This is all part of the Minns Government’s plan to build a better NSW with more jobs and services, so young people, families and key local workers have more opportunities in the communities they choose.
