Government wraps up consultation with Sydney Airport

The Australian Government has announced that Badgerys Creek will be the site for a Western Sydney airport. This demonstrates the Government's commitment to the Western Sydney region, where a new airport would be a major catalyst for investment and jobs growth. An airport in Western Sydney would also bring benefits to the Australian economy more broadly.

Delivering on our plan to build a stronger and more prosperous Western Sydney, over the next 10 years $3.6 billion will be invested in roads to connect Badgerys Creek to Sydney's motorway network, making the proposed airport site easily accessible to Western Sydney residents.
