The Federal Government’s recent announcement that Badgerys Creek will be the location for Sydney’s new airport has created considerable debate. Consult Australia’s Futurenet Business Leaders Course has chosen this topic for its annual course project.

The following report offers a design concept for this new regular public transport airport. The concept was developed in response to a hypothetical request from the Western Sydney Airport Alliance (WSAA) to a consulting and project management group DFNP Consultants. DFNP is a team of professional consultants formed exclusively to respond to this brief as part of the Futurenet course.

Our approach to designing Western Sydney airport was to closely follow the WSAA brief with a focus on the needs of Badgerys Creek residents and those of the broader Western Sydney community. Our intent is to offer a holistic airport design concept that is immediately commercially viable and whose long term success is interrelated with the growth of the Western Sydney region.

Western Sydney has been identified as the largest NSW growth centre. Forecasts suggest the Greater Western Sydney population will outnumber the rest of Sydney by 2026. Development of an airport at the Badgerys Creek ‘Western Sydney International location will complement and encourage growth in the region by providing jobs to local residents - both directly and through related business around the airport - and by bringing people to the area. Symbiotically, growth of the Airport, linking Western Sydney to Western Sydney region will support the success of the airport. opportunity.’ The DFNP Concept is a practical framework for the creation of Facilitated Alliances, within which a focus on the needs of the community will promote both the success of the airport and sustainable growth in the region.
