01
Town Water and water supplies
Sydney Water has identified the lands on the western boundary of the airport to be provided with drinking water services in 2026-28, which is the earliest of all precincts within the Aerotropolis.
Refer to the Sydney Water Growth Servicing Plan 2024-2029 for more details.
Sydney Water are also commencing the construction of a new water main along Adams Road in January 2023. This main will supply water to the Airport. This water supply will also be one of the first water mains for any employment lands within the Aerotropolis.
The photo above shows the 750mm (internal diameter – 1000mm external diameter) water main construction along Elizabeth Drive at Adams Road, on the western boundary of the airport (June 2022).
Photo below shows new 355mm water main being installed by Sydney Water along Adams Road from the Elizabeth Drive main (February 2023). Hydrants along Adams Road and Anton Road are now installed.
sewer and recycled water
Sydney Water has identified lands on the western boundary of the airport to be provided with wastewater/sewer services by 2026. The Upper South Creek Networks Program has identified the Cosgrove Creek Precinct (where the landholdings are located) as being Stage 1 to be delivered by 2026 (as shown in diagram above).
The landholdings on the western edge of the airport will therefore be serviced with sewer first, as they are located within the Cosgrove Creek Precinct similar to the Northern Gateway. Other lands within the Agribusiness Precinct don’t drain to this catchment (they are in the Nepean River Catchment) and will require extensive pumping stations and infrastructure to pump their sewer into the South Creek Catchment lines when they are built and operational.
Recycled wastewater is also being provided to these lands, and a recycled water supply line (purple line) will also be available for use by industry. This line is being built along Elizabeth Drive from the new Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre which has started construction and is located along Clifton Avenue in Kemps Creek (for completion by 2025).
The diagram above shows the location of the site in relation to this project while the photo below shows the proposed centre. Works have commenced on this line along Elizabeth Drive in September 2023, with these construction works being undertaken by John Holland.
Refer to the Sydney Water Growth Servicing Plan 2024-2029 and the Sydney Water homepage for more details.

Elizabeth Drive and the northern road
The Northern Road dual carriageway upgrade has been completed at a cost of $1.6 billion and serves the landholdings on the western edge of the airport.
Elizabeth Drive is the other main road that forms the northern boundary of the lands and is being upgraded to a new dual carriageway roadway. The upgrade of Elizabeth Drive is now in progress with investigation works progressing on the project since 2022.
Transport for NSW in late September 2023 released the Review of Environmental Factors for Elizabeth Drive details of the upgrade provided in two parts, with the Elizabeth Drive West Upgrade section to be completed separtely from the remainder of Elizabeth Drive (proposal shown below).
The NSW State Government also announced further funding for the construction for Elizabeth Drive in the 2024-25 NSW Budget, with $800 million being allocated for Elizabeth Drive as a four lane road between The Northern Road and Mamre Road.
Both these roadways are classified main roads, with no load limit or height limit restrictions and comply with NSW HML and RAV limited roadways for large vehicles (unlike other roads for other precincts, such as the current 5 tonne limit on Luddenham Road).
Elizabeth Drive will also be provided with a Rapid Bus Network to Liverpool and connect the lands on the western side of the airport to the M12 and the rest of Sydney, better than any other Aerotropolis locality.
M12 Motorway, the Future M9 Outer Sydney Orbital & western sydney Freight line
Construction work has begun on the M12 Motorway located within 1km of the subject landholdings on the western boundary of the Airport. The location of the site in relation to the approved M12 Motorway design is shown above.
The M12 Motorway connectivity will link the area to the remainder of Sydney and is to be completed for the airport completion in 2026. The landholdings on the western edge of the airport will benefit from two toll-free M12 connections at Elizabeth Drive and The Northern Road, for the best road transport connections of any lands within the Aerotropolis. Works on the M12 Motorway has been progressing at a fast rate, with many of the bridge structures such as the Airport Gateway Bridge and Luddenham Road bridge (Bridge BR01, as shown below) nearing completion. The Airport Gateway Bridge was opened to Elizabeth Drive traffic on the 11 March 2024 and a timeline of its construction is shown on our YouTube channel.
The future M9 Outer Sydney Orbital is also proposed to connect to the M12 at The Northern Road when built in the future (and this transport corridor preservation is now occuring). Transport for NSW has also indentified this Outer Sydney Orbital area for future freight rail line connecting to the proposed Western Sydney Freight Line.
The Western Sydney Freight Line (Stage 1) is a dedicated freight line between Horsley Park and Luddenham and the Western Parkland City. A future Stage 2 allows for the connection to the Southern Sydney Freight Line at Leightonfield, linking to Port Botany via the Metropolitan Freight Network.
Refer to the Transport for NSW homepage for more details on all of these projects.

Anton Road North - a new airport entry
Anton Road North will be the main services entry point into the western boundary of the airport (including the fuel supply). This roadway will be a sub-arterial road that will connect to a new signalised intersection at Elizabeth Drive. Anton Road North will then extend through Elizabeth Drive to lands in the Northern Gateway Precinct.
Refer to the Transport Network under the Aerotropolis Precinct Plan for details.
The photos above and below show the new intersection at Adams Road and Anton Road under construction and its completion for improved airport access to The Northern Road.
The photo above shows the direction of the future Anton Road North along landholdings on the western side of Adams Road. The photo below shows the new roundabout construction and new services entry road along Anton Road to Western Sydney Airport (July 2022).
Sydney metro - western sydney airport
Construction work is well underway on the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport Metro rail line which will connect the area to Sydney’s rail transport network.
The new Metro line will connect the western Agribusiness lands to the rest of Sydney with reliable public transport including interconnecting bus services to all Metro Stations and nearby stations at the airport (two stations) and another at Luddenham.
Works along Luddenham Road and at the Luddenham Metro Station have also been progressing quickly as shown in the two photos below.
Refer to the Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport Metro homepage for more details.
