Aerotropolis Sector Plan
Infrastructure NSW is responsible for improving the coordination of infrastructure to support freight, logistics and employment related development in Western Sydney and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis (Aerotropolis).
Spanning 11,200 hectares, the Aerotropolis presents a generational opportunity to create a thriving economic hub and provide thousands of new jobs closer to home for Western Sydney residents.
Significant planning and development activity is underway in the Aerotropolis. As of December 2025, private development proposals worth close to $33 billion are in planning or delivery, set to support 69,000 jobs. This investment is complemented by more than $28 billion committed by the NSW and Australian Government in enabling infrastructure to unlock the region’s full potential.

Infrastructure NSW, in collaboration with NSW Government agencies, delivered the Aerotropolis Sector Plan (Sector Plan) that identifies infrastructure delivery priorities that enable development, support job creation and maximise economic growth in the Aerotropolis.
The Sector Plan outlines how NSW Government funded transport and water projects will be staged and sequenced in a fiscally responsible way, aligned with development timing and demand. It shows how nearly 4,500 hectares of serviced employment lands can be unlocked by 2030 to drive investment.

Progress Update on the Sector Plan
Momentum continues at pace in the Aerotropolis, with significant activity underway ahead of the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport opening in late 2026.
The NSW Government is working with industry and all levels of government to address existing and emerging roadblocks and issues that impact planning, infrastructure activity and development in the Aerotropolis.
Together with the Australian Governments, the NSW Government is prioritising infrastructure in Western Sydney.
As part of the 2025/26 budget, the NSW Government announced almost $850 million infrastructure and services investment in the Aerotropolis, and the Australian Government has committed a further $1 billion towards corridor preservation for rail links between Bradfield to Leppington and Macarthur.
