The development of Australia’s first new city in a century is taking another major step forward with the NSW Government opening Expressions of Interest (EOI) for a development partner to deliver Bradfield City’s new Enterprise Precinct.
Located next to the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct and a short walk from the City Precinct, new Bradfield Metro Station and two-hectare Central Park, the Enterprise Precinct is expected to become a thriving business precinct for blue-chip businesses, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, researchers and education institutions.
The EOI will identify an experienced development partner to help realise the precinct’s potential and deliver an initial 6.7 hectares of land to support local industry, high-value jobs, investment and stronger supply chains, said Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney, Prue Car.
“The Minns Labor Government wants to attract investment and industries to Bradfield that will provide lasting benefits for Western Sydney’s communities for generations to come,” said Ms Car.
“With Western Sydney International Airport now open, Bradfield City sits at the centre of innovation in Australia, and with that comes jobs, industry, and economic opportunities, where locals can build careers close to home.”
The Enterprise Precinct is expected to attract businesses in advanced manufacturing, construction innovation, aerospace, semiconductor technology, clean technology, freight and logistics, education and research, defence and supporting sectors.
There is already a strong pipeline of prospective businesses hoping to establish themselves in Bradfield City close to the Western Sydney International Airport and connected by the toll-free M12 Motorway, said Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Paul Scully.
“Bradfield City is well on its way to becoming a thriving hub for jobs, industry and innovation, and the Enterprise Precinct is a critical part of that vision,” said Mr Scully.
“The strong response from prospective businesses shows there is real demand from advanced industries to establish and grow in Bradfield City, bringing highly skilled jobs closer to communities in Western Sydney.
“We’re now looking for an experienced development partner to turn that demand into a thriving Enterprise Precinct where businesses of all sizes can establish, grow and create jobs.”
A further seven hectares may be released to the chosen development partner following completion of the first Enterprise Precinct stage.
