Australia's first new city in 100 years is officially open for business as the Minns Labor Government launches the Bradfield City 'Built for what's next' campaign.
The campaign will showcase 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. Showing investors and businesses why it is an ideal location for innovative business models in Australia and across the globe.
To launch a wave of new commercial investment opportunities new 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 Minns Labor Government is 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.
The Minns Labor 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. This will make sure we can establish the foundations Bradfield needs to be a thriving community.
Following the first land release in December last year further progress is being made, with the developer Plenary set to open Expressions of Interests in the coming weeks to find a university partner and commercial tenants.
Today's launch follows significant progress over the past two years, including:
- Finalising a development agreement with Plenary to transform the first Superlot.
- Partnering with Superloop to deliver the cities digital infrastructure.
- Opening of the First Building the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility.
- Completing the first stage of civil and enabling works making more than a third of the city development ready.
- Approving for the Second Building and iconic two-hectare Central Park, which are both due to start construction this year.
- Committing to make Bradfield the site of Australia's first commercial semiconductor advanced packaging facility.
- Accelerating private investment in the broader Aerotropolis with $21.6 billion worth of projects in the pipeline at various stages.
The Minns Labor Government is committed to building a stronger future for Western Sydney, including making Bradfield a national hub for innovation, advanced manufacturing and sovereign capability.
Further opportunities will come to market later this year including, tenancies in the Second Building.
