Australia’s first city in a century opens for business

Australia’s first new city in 100 years is officially open for business with the NSW Government’s launch of the Bradfield City ‘Built for what’s next’ campaign.

The campaign showcases Bradfield as a city on the doorstep of an international airport which boasts access to world‑class research and manufacturing infrastructure, as well as a skilled local workforce.

In a bid to launch a wave of new commercial investment opportunities, expressions of interest have opened today for businesses interested in locating in the 3.8-hectare Enterprise Precinct adjacent to the city’s first building the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF).

The Government says it s particularly interested in attracting investment from sectors such as aerospace, cleantech, modern construction, defence, education and research, freight and logistics, advanced manufacturing, agtech, semiconductors and critical technologies.

This campaign brings Bradfield another step closer to becoming a thriving, globally connected city, with 10,000 new homes and 20,000 new jobs, said Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Paul Scully.

“Bradfield City is officially open for business and situated on the doorstep of the new Western Sydney International Airport it offers unique benefits for innovative and advanced industries looking for a homebase,” said the Minister.

“This is an exciting milestone for Bradfield and an exciting opportunity for new industry to get a foothold in a new globally connected city which is well on its way to becoming a hub for future focused industries.”

The Government has also made a regulation change so all development within Bradfield’s master plan footprint will be assessed through a dedicated streamlined state‑led planning pathway.

Following the first land release in December last year, the developer, Plenary, is set to open Expressions of Interests in the coming weeks to find a university partner and commercial tenants. Further opportunities will come to market later this year including, tenancies in the Second Building.

“New South Wales is open for business, and the Minns Labor Government is backing industry, reducing red tape, and creating new jobs for Western Sydney,” said Deputy Premier of NSW and Minister for Western Sydney, Prue Car.

“Bradfield City is right at the heart of this work. As the Aerotropolis grows, we have a chance to create new pathways for jobs, education, and infrastructure in our growing communities.

“The Minns Labor Government wants businesses and investors to take the next step, bring your ambition, your ideas, and help us shape the future for Western Sydney.”
