Sydney's New $2.7BN Mega Airport

Sydney is constructing a new Mega Airport, The Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. This mega project plans to be one of the largest airports in Asia and comes at a heavy engineering cost to Australia. Today we explore some of the insane engineering behind the mega airport and see how it will transform travel to Sydney

[@tacitdionysus3220]

Quite a reasonable clip covering most aspects of building the Western Sydney International (WSI) Airport. Some mispronunciations, like 'Bringelly' is pronounced 'Brin-jelly', but that's forgivable. Some additional points of interest are: - It will not have a Control Tower as such, but an extensive system of cameras and sensors, feeding to a control centre about 15 km away, where the airport traffic is electronically displayed for its air traffic controllers. - It's better to think of the new airport not so much as 'Sydneys second airport', but as WESTERN Sydney's Airport. Many Sydney-siders who live around the harbour / coastal city side still struggle with this concept. You'll see this reflected in comments about how 'it's too far away', 'will take too long to get there', and 'isn't strongly connected to their idea of the 'City'. Naturally people who live more to the east will continue to use the existing airport, just that it will now be less pressured. But the new airport is actually closer to most of the population of greater Sydney. From day one it will have a metro connecting it to a major rail line, soon after it will link with another line giving rail access to the old airport and the harbour city. In a few decades it will be served by another metro line from Parramatta and on into the harbour city. And (as at the existing airport) rail is only expected to attract about 20-25% of the people using it. Geography has long moved on from when the centre of Sydney was around the Harbour Bridge. The population centre of Sydney is at Rosehill, way west of there, and moving further in that direction. Western Sydney already has a greater population and growth rate than the rest of Sydney. It is the third biggest population / enterprise centre in the whole country. The West also has a different culture. Harbour Sydney to the East is all about old money, harbour views, glamorous lifestyles, tourist traps, finance, institutions, and image over substance. It's often shallow and hedonistic, (with designer labels). The West is where the real work gets done. It's more authentically vibrant and pragmatic. It's a more family place, and much of it has a younger demographic. It's more genuinely diverse, yet more typically Australian at the same time. It's more of a place 'on the edge' where real innovation occurs and is nurtured. For example, one reason WSI is probably on time and budget is because it's largely being built by the locals, and they're consistently and genuinely talented at doing that sort of thing. Western Sydney also has several widely separated major centres. It's already mostly a set of natural, unforced, 30 minute cities. And they are each not small. For example, they usually have around 100,000 people or so, have their own large shopping complexes, university campuses, major hospitals and health precincts, transport hubs, high rise buildings, etc. But the West is often sneered at by harbour Sydney-siders. It's thought of as lower class, less educated, less refined, less everything. The West is inevitably going to shine anyway, but WSI gives it a significant and perhaps even iconic piece of infrastructure around which people can more identify and rally. WSI is a powerful social catalyst as much as a place where aircraft take off and land.

I can't believe they think one runway will be sufficient to handle 10,000,000 passengers/40,000 flights per year! They better get going on the second runway!

[@JayJayGamerOfficial]

The design of WSI is rather lackluster, they have it marketed as Sydney new international airport but the terminal looks small and with a single runway it doesn't seem like it'll last long before another airport will be needed. Even with the duplication plan the other terminal will be some distance away from the current one judging by how far the metro station seems to be from the metro and it will also be the same size. It also doesn't help with the fact that they are promoting it as a 24/7 airport which is what Sydney needs but are building a new 'cbd' just down the road from it, I garuntee in a couple decades it will have the same operation time as Kingsford smith in mascot which has a curfew due to the development nearby. It's still better than nothing though with the ever growing western Sydney region getting further away from the overflowing Kingsford smith airport it was the right decision to build a new airport in the area so those people have better access to the airport, not only bringing passenger levels down for Kingsford smith but also reducing travel times for many of the people wanting to travel to the airport.

[@tacitdionysus3220]

@@sanandaallsgood673 I don’t understand your comment. It will have two runways, with the second built as traffic grows. The current Sydney airport started with two, with another runway, shorter and not widely separated from the other. WSI will have two widely separated runways.

That, plus the more sophisticated landing aids make higher movement frequencies and shorter taxiing times possible than at the current airport, even in bad weather.

No plans to have a direct train from the city centre to the airport. A Metro line to St Marys, then changing to a train to get to the city centre will take ages. St Marys is very far out. Will take over 1.5hrs

[@tacitdionysus3220]

I suggest that's 1950s thinking (everything must connect to the 'city' - meaning the old harbour city) back when Western Sydney really was 'way out there'. The current geography is a whole different story. Frankly Western Sydney does not need the old harbour city, as much as the 'glamorous' harbour / coast needs the vibrant productivity and edgy entrepreneurship of Western Sydney. They are almost two separate complementary cities that just happen to live next door to each other; strongly interconnected, yet separated by the cultural 'Red Rooster Line'. The population centre of Greater Sydney is at Rosehill (nowhere near the harbour city centre) and is heading towards Parramatta. Western Sydney already has a greater population than the rest of Sydney. It's the third biggest population and business centre in the country. The West is closer to Sydney's water supply and incoming power transmission lines. It has a much bigger botanical gardens, more recreational space, rivers that rival the look of the Rhine, pretty rolling countryside with interesting villages, is closer to major world heritage sites, has the biggest hospital and health service centres, and is served by numerous nearby shopping and entertainment centres, etc. It is culturally welcoming, rather than snobby. It's where so many new arrivals come to become part of Australia. It treats other nearby coastal population centres (like the Illawarra and the Central Coast) as valued equals, not as lower class. The existing Sydney Airport will remain in use, and be used by those who live in the Eastern half of Sydney, or well heeled tourists who want to stay in expensive harbour-side accommodation. Those in the West and those looking for cheaper holidays will probably choose Western Sydney International (WSI). Why would people in the most populous part of Sydney want to go 'way in there' to catch a flight from the existing airport? Most people will not be going between the new airport and the old harbour city; they'll be going to where they live in the West. Even many international tourists will stay in the extensive and often cheaper accommodation in the west, and use the extensive transport system to visit tourist spots from Manly and Bondi in the east, through to the Blue Mountains to the west, and travelling to other parts of the country. The WSI Metro between the airport and the existing east-west rail station at St Marys is merely a first modest step. It will extend further south to Campbelltown/Macarthur and across to the passenger rail junction at Glenfield. It will extend further north to Schofields. That's a longer line than St Marys is from the centre of harbour Sydney. As such it forms a north-south spine for public transport throughout the rapidly growing industrial and residential areas already springing up around its corridor. You won't see much of it on Google as yet, but (for example) just take a drive along, say, Mamre Rd. and you will see what I mean. There are also plans and provisions for a another metro line, an extension of the Western Metro already being built for now from the harbour city (near Circular Quay) to the river city Parramatta/Westmead, then later on to WSI airport. Look closely at clips of the airport construction and you will se how space has been left for this extra line into the new airport, under Elizabeth Drive, then running parallel with the Metro to/from St Marys (note the spaces left beside it and under bridges around the Airport Business park). It's construction will probably coincide with the construction of the second parallel runway and more terminals.

[@chasingjohn]

@@tacitdionysus3220 the majority of tourists do not stay in the west. They stay in the inner city, inner west and eastern suburbs. As much as you feel western Sydney is growing most people from that area do travel into the city or to the beaches. Regardless, this airport is not created for the people living on the outskirts of Western Sydney. It is a secondary airport for the city and infrastructure should reflect that. London has numerous airports all quite far and yet all connect into central London. Badgery's Creek is way out there. I grew up near Bankstown and still think areas such as Leppington etc are very far and will never travel there unless necessary . There should be a fast train from this new airport into the city or even to Kingsford Smith stopping at key locations. Just going to St Marys is an absolute joke.

[@tacitdionysus3220]

@@chasingjohn That may be true now. But, you can't change the geography of a place so significantly, and not have significant flow-on effects. If as you suggest, it's just another Stansted (if that), then one modest rail connection into an existing system might be all that can be justified, especially if about 75% of people will be using other forms of transport (based on KSA) A direct connection between WSI and KSA is harder to justify. If say I am flying to Sydney to connect with another service that only goes from one airport, then I will probably get a connecting flight to that airport, rather than commute from one to the other. Time will tell. A trend should be apparent within 10 years. It probably won't all be exactly as I suggest, but I'm certain that it will not just be much the same as now. Half of Greater Sydney's population is now closer to WSI than KSA, and that will probably increase. That's not a demographic indicating WSI will always be noticeably 'secondary'.

[@JayJayGamerOfficial]

The new airport isn't meant to be for tourists wanting to the city, it's meant to alleviate passengers travelling to and from western Sydney away from Kingsford Smith since a lot of families in western Sydney are immigrants who still have family in other countries. Western Sydney is one of the fastest growing areas in the country with Parramatta and Liverpool becoming important business and commercial hubs.

[@tacitdionysus3220]

@@JayJayGamerOfficial Yeah, I agree an important market for WSI will be VFR (visiting friends and relatives). It might also attract a new type of tourist interested in exploring nature deep in the Blue Mountains, Wollemi, the Gardens of Stone, the rustic NSW goldfields and beyond, rather than taking selfies in front of the Opera House. And there are also niche activities. For example, if I arrive before dawn and my room won't be available until the afternoon, where can I go for a unique experience. Always amazed at how few people know how pretty the countryside is to the south of WSI, and how Rhine-like the valleys of the Hawkesbury are to the north. Or places like Sydney Zoo, Featherdale Wildlife Park, or the vast Mt Annan Botanical Gardens.

Now for the negatives. The thumbnail image has NOTHING to do with the airport. The rail line is not compatible with the rest of the Sydney network thus requiring users to change trains, with luggage.

Of course, with all the inevitable commercial around the airport, it will soon be the same as Kingsford Smith - hemmed in with no place to expand. Getting out there without a direct rail connection is going to be a nightmare other than from the immediate surrounding suburbs. Plus the inevitable issues arising for passengers having to transfer between the two airports for onward connections. It may look impressive on paper, but there is so so much wrong with the plans developed so far. What they really needed to have done was build the high speed rail from Brisbane to Sydney and on to Melbourne years ago. That would have relieved the pressure on Kingsford Smith by removing traffic off two of the busiest air routes in the world.

No pie in the sky here!

Opening is scheduled for December 2026. Test flights and operational testing from late 2025. The Metro to St Marys is deficient in that it should have continued south from Bradfield to Leppington less than 10 km, where the end of the existing rail line ends... allowing speedy rail connection to Liverpool and beyond. Residents of the Lower Blue Mountains are rather unhappy about their peaceful existence lost to 24 hour airport operation. There is also the question of how much of that burnt aviation fuel from takeoffs will end up in Warragamba Dam - Sydney's main water catchment.... Ah progress... 40 years ago Badgerys Creek was under consideration along with Richmond and Holsworthy. The Commonwealth held large tracks of land at Badgerys Creek. Part of that is the centre of the Aerotropolis suburb of Bradfield, named after the famed engineer John Bradfield who designed Sydney Harbour Bridge...

Once we flip to our Sovereignty there will be no need for passports, I'm suspecting this is the need for the new airport with millions of travellers expected 🤔

[@mathewbain2309]

Damm more you say that the more lower the planes go over my house

[@GMCShazamataz]

You might want to verify your facts and figures before publishing your video. $11Bil Aus costs and 4 million in first stage capacity.

[@rmimpact]

I mean are you including the estimated $5bn metro line? Where did you get your numbers from because I can’t find any accurate numbers. I see some from $2.4bn to $5bn, $11bn and $22bn. I want to know the actual price

[@rmimpact]

The guy making the video is completely unreliable. Like I clicked on the vid, saw something completely different to what I wanted to watch, disliked the vid and moved on.

[@TechnikMeister2]

We do this stuff really well. The Sydney Olympics in 2000 were the first in 50 years to come in at a profit and all the facilities are in full use today. What we see here is only half the airport. This will take freight. The second side has another runway and has the terminal in the picture. But the links to the CBD are a disaster. The rail will take 90 minutes and a car trip 2 hours. Poeple will still want to use the old airport due to its proximity to Sydney's good bits.

[@gracedagostino5231]

Not true! The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics made a huge profit. Lol, every stadium used is still in use today. The Los Angeles Coliseum will become the only stadium to open 3 Olympics in 2028, the other 2 being 1932, 1984. There has been talk about demolishing Sydney Olympic Stadium (not even called that anymore) believe me talk about demolishing the incredible Los Angeles Coliseum, would be akin to talking about demolishing the Colosseum in Rome. Also, the legendary Rose Bowl the site of World Cup Soccer Finals like 1994 Italy vs Brazil was also used in 1984 Olympics, will be used again in 2028 Olympics.

Well you got every direction wrong

100 years later still nothing built

[@mikeleonard8031]

I travel quite a lot and over the years I have seen some amazing airports like the Changi airport in Singapore which was for years the best in the world . Then they added a waterfall which has cost them a billion dollars. Will our government spend a billion dollars on a feature?First impression is a last impression.

[@mnm8818]

every international person that walks into Syd airport sees Sydney is stuck in the 70s lol its shameful... though security is great, theres no need to take out anything, undress, and its more automated... unlike other airports though no smokers area. all the smokers must crowd in a toilet or something for hours waiting for their plan

[@orion7763]

So my question is... what happens to the old airport? This becomes a park, or urban infill, or what?

[@nigelyorkshiremanwadeley6263]

No. It will just receive less traffic.

[@HenriHattar]

This information is actually correct and can be checked against official data and thos that criticis this channel must have an agenda to lie.

Have they checked the soil for Asbestos 😂😂😂

[@PacoOtis]

Pitiful discombobulated video that is ten times longer than it needed to be!

[@RhB-fan51]

Hmmm. They seem to have forgotten about a provision for an aviation fuel supply pipeline and also a direct and interchange free heavy rail connection to Sydney CBD. On the other hand I love your AI voice that goes well with all that PR propaganda.

[@stevemurnane1892]

Apparently, they are going to truck it all in from Botany and Kernel storage facilities. Multiple toll roads with over crowding already, and will only take a small accident to hold it all up. I wonder if they checked how much fuel the larger jets take on board. Cars take litres, planes take TONNES!!!

[@MrCzech78]

5.3 billion aud

[@micko1404]

why have an amazing airport when the rest of the arterial roads in and out are absolutely crap?

[@arnobertogna4718]

Just do it asap as Sydney needs it - make it happen.

[@Eric-jo8uh]

Looks positively boring. Clearly a back pocket $$$$ choice to the people that “designed “ it.

[@jakubcyrta2294]

10 million pax and u call it a mega airport??????

Australia's mega structures are boring compared to the rest of the world.

Bye bye its being build there Bankstown 😂😂

[@santosammarco8453]

I think the design is so boring...looks like Flemington markets from above!

[@arthurwatts1680]

Let's ignore the clickbait for a moment and ponder travel time to the city from this new 'destination in it's own right'. At 2am, visitors may well reach the city in under an hour but I pity the unfortunates who find themselves in Western Sydney's traffic - it had to happen sooner or later and I'm guessing there are some very unhappy NIMBYs out there.

[@robg6688]

why wouldnt you just choose Kingsford Smith as your arrival?

[@arthurwatts1680]

@@robg6688 kinda defeats the purpose of building a second airport out in the boonies to relieve. congestion. I'm guessing that BC will become the only option for low cost carriers and Mascot will be reserved for QANTAS and the other $$$$ airlines. Anyone who has flown to KL knows they have a 30-40 minute cab ride to get into the CBD, but cabs are cheap in Malaysia and it's a breeze until the traffic thickens near your hotel. Interesting times ahead for travellers.

[@robg6688]

@@arthurwatts1680 but why is every single passenger going back to the city? There are 1.2 million people in western Sydney that travel and also have family overseas. That’s a really big thing and don’t need the city. You’re also forgetting our friends in western NSW which also probably as up to another million who now have a very viable and convenient option to travel. I for one would love to not have to get up at 4am and get to KS to fly to my interstate destinations for work. If you’re a tourist then by all means land in KS but it also takes you 25 to get to the ‘bra, 30 to Coogee and 40 to Bondi. Not the convenient spot you think it is. As for the low cost carrier stuff. I doubt Qatar Airlines etc would pass up going to our airport here. I doubt that very much

[@johnfeenie6772]

ps my then girlfriend, now wife, were lucky to stand under the wing...we are there in this photograph towards the front. Think of the "security" implications these days...

[@pauldamo1679]

looks nothing like the video thumbnail,was that ckick bait?

[@Creees]

so stupid, the city is too full and the state is so empty. New South Wales is half the size of Europe lol and has only one city more than one million. and that one city is six million. sydney has horrible people and horrible traffic. its a miserable existence. you will stay home and just watch movies and video games, when you leavr you will just encounter people no eye contact and no smiling and very non existent no engaging conversation. the government is sending new immigrants out of sydney and honestly they are experiencing better lives than sydney people. if youre not from australia avoid sydney and check out the other cities. people are happier away from this bad city

[@VanTran-ne4yf]

You are hang out the wrong areas and dealing with the bad one. If sydney is so bad like you said,half a million international student and a million migrant have no chance to survive,no friends,no family,no money .😅

They could house the poor and give pensioners enough to live comfortably instead of not being able to pay bills/food/medicine yet they spend money on unnecessary things instead.

Sydney's a hole, only the rich can afford to live there so don't bother if you don't have a cool mill

Probably a hole where you come from too.

Try your best to use a proper design of the new airport, not an AI generated one.

[@chuaLee-ij3kz]

dont expect anything good. they like to charge super expensive parkings and knowing Australia style, good and nice when new, after 1 year, broken, dirty, computer breakdown, lousy customer service because they hire all part timers.

[@happysmile9785]

Nice. It would be more nice to interviewer is not to nasty. Strictly n nasty is very different. It's not necessary. Airport interviewer is very first Image of Australia. Many of people said they treat as like a criminals with angry face expression. Even they have any problem

[@clothnappies123]

This is fake. I live in Melbourne Australia and never heard anything about this new airport costing this much unless you can prove it. I suggest you take it off. It’s a joke.

[@marcuspethurst2939]

It’s 5.3 billion at last cost Plus motorway conbection and metro line!
