Located at the heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, Bradfield City Centre sits on the doorstep of the new Western Sydney International Airport.
It will become a vibrant, 24/7 global city, driving advancements in industry and acting as a central gathering place for arts, culture, and entertainment.
A city of extraordinary futures
Bradfield City Centre will unlock new economic opportunities, create 10,000 more homes, and support 20,000 new jobs for the people of Western Sydney.
Advanced manufacturing and other future looking industries based in the new city will act as a magnet for innovation across all Western Sydney. This will create good quality and better paid jobs closer to home.
With more than half the world's population just a 14-hour flight away, Bradfield City Centre will also be a destination for tourism and entertainment.
At 114-hectares, the city is one of the biggest urban development projects ever undertaken in Australia and is the first major city to be built in over 100 years.
Bradfield City Centre Master Plan
Over the course of 2022/23, the Authority undertook a comprehensive co-design process to develop the draft Master Plan and associated technical reports. This involved extensive engagement and collaboration with Government Agencies through a formal Technical Assurance Panel (TAP).
Following endorsement from the TAP, the draft Master Plan was on public exhibition from 5 February to 4 March 2024. The Authority reviewed submissions and re-submitted the draft Master Plan.
The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has now approved the Master Plan.

Construction of the First Building - housing Stage 1 of the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) - is now complete.
With sustainability at its core, the First Building sets the benchmark for the new city. It features extensive use of natural materials and a cooling green roof to reduce solar thermal heating loads.
The First Building will have an important role in activating the manufacturing ecosystem in Bradfield City Centre and across the wider Western Sydney region. It's the start of a new industry-led ecosystem connecting and attracting local and global industry partners.

Delivery of the Second Building is underway. Upon completion it will be a world-class innovation incubator, enabling global collaboration between industry, researchers, and the community.
It will provide businesses, engineers, and researchers access to advanced manufacturing technologies to test, scale up, and commercialise new manufacturing methods, as well as housing the AMRF Stage 2.
In February 2023, an architect was appointed to design the building. A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) was submitted in May 2024.

At the heart of Bradfield City will be a two-hectare Central Park. This will be the first step in establishing Bradfield City as a vibrant, cultural city immersed in a true parkland environment. Central Park will welcome visitors from across the globe and become a key gathering space for residents and workers.
In June 2023, a design competition was held, with the winning design confirmed in November 2023.
In June 2024 the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) went on public exhibition.
Construction of Central Park is due to commence in 2026 in line with the opening of the Metro.
