Construction of a passenger terminal at Sydney's new $5.3 billion international airport is expected to start by the end of next year | Mattonews
Construction of a passenger terminal at Sydney's new $5.3 billion international airport is expected to start by the end of next year after several large contractors were shortlisted for the work.
The federal government has also released further concept designs for Western Sydney Airport's terminal at Badgerys Creek, which is about 50 kilometres west of Sydney's CBD.Western Sydney Airport, a wholly government-owned company, declined to put an estimate on the cost of building the terminal, arguing it would compromise competitive tender processes. The terminal is, however, included in the overall $5.3 billion cost estimate for the airport.
The airport company has shortlisted Multiplex, Watpac and a Lendlease-CPB Contractors joint venture to tender for construction of the terminal. Its design will be finalised when the winning contractor is appointed in the middle of next year.The terminal will include a public plaza, shops, restaurants and cafes, and will be connected to the local transport network by the $1.8 billion
– construction of which is due to start in 2022 – and a metro rail line to St Marys via two new stations at Luddenham and Orchard Hills.of the $8 billion Western Sydney Airport metro line is scheduled to start next year, allowing for the rail link to be operational in time for the airport's opening in 2026.
Federal Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure Minister Alan Tudge said the airport's construction would support 11,000 direct and indirect jobs in western Sydney, and it was important that work on the 1780-hectare site had continued despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
