The NSW Government has launched a new campaign to entice businesses and investors to Western Sydney’s Bradfield “aerotropolis”.
Dubbed “Built for what’s next”, the campaign aims to spruik Bradfield as a centre for “innovative business models”, with ready access to skilled local workers as well as Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) and the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF).

As part of the push, the state government has opened expressions of interest for businesses looking to locate in the 3.8-hectare enterprise precinct next to the AMRF.
“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 home base,” said Paul Scully, NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces.
“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 Minns Labor Government is making sure Australia’s first new city in 100 years has the right foundations to thrive as a commercial and industrial centre as well as a well connect and serviced community for thousands.”
The 114-hectare Bradfield City Centre, backed by more than $1 billion from the state government, is expected to include up to 10,000 new homes, with the government saying it will deliver 20,000 direct jobs.
The first stage of civil works, completed in February, included 4km of new road; 8km of footpaths and cycleways; on-street parking; kiss-and-ride points, taxi ranks, and bus bays for the Bradfield metro station; and in-ground services including water and electricity.
“One third of Bradfield City is now serviced and development ready. With kilometres of new roads, pathways and in-ground services unlocking the city’s potential and literally paving the way for future growth and investment,” said Scully at the time.
According to Prue Car, Deputy Premier of NSW and Minister for Western Sydney, the campaign is part of the NSW Government’s commitment to “backing industry, reducing red tape, and creating new jobs for Western Sydney”.
“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,” she said.
“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.”
The second stage of civil works began late last year and is continuing through 2026.
