Construction kicks off at Bradfield City

Work is currently underway on the first building at Bradfield City, a 3,840 square metre multi-purpose facility that will house office, exhibition and event spaces.

 A ceremony marked the turning of the first sod at Australia’s newest city, which will become the home of Hitachi’s Kyoso Creation Centre and the first stage of a new Advanced Manufacturing and Research Facility.

Located next to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, and less than 30 minutes from Penrith City Centre, this development is set to transform the lives of our local residents and business owners by bringing opportunities for new jobs, attractions, services, and economic investment.

Set to open by late 2023, Bradfield’s first building will deliver 150 construction jobs, and 60 new operational jobs once it’s up and running.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the 114-hectare Bradfield City Centre development is backed by a $1 billion investment from the NSW Government and will unlock a further $10 billion in private investment.

“This first building is the start of a game-changing and job-generating City Centre that will transform Bradfield into a hive of economic activity for businesses and offer new services and attractions for residents across Western Sydney.

Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Alister Henskens said Taylor Construction Group had been awarded the construction tender to build the first building.

“This facility will bring high-skilled jobs and global career opportunities to Western Sydney residents, deliver shared high-tech manufacturing equipment and machinery with local Sydney businesses and fast-track development in areas like defence and space,” Mr Henskens said.

Once complete, Bradfield city will create more than 17,000 jobs and accelerate a wave of new advanced manufacturing, research and innovation in Western Sydney.
