Infrastructure

The New South Wales Government's spending on infrastructure projects is at an all-time high, making it a great time to invest. 

 

Record investment in infrastructure projects

The New South Wales (NSW) Government recently committed a record A$112.7 billion in infrastructure projects to build a brighter future for NSW families, communities and businesses. 

This includes developing new rail, road and air links, as well as upgrading existing infrastructure such as hospitals, schools and stadiums to better service the state’s growing economy and population.

Significant infrastructure projects

A new A$8.4 billion inland rail network will soon move freight between Queensland and Southern Australia and better connect NSW and Sydney to the cities of Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

RNA pilot manufacturing facility

NSW will lead Australia with a first-of-its-kind pilot facility to develop mRNA and RNA drugs and vaccines to combat disease and save lives.

The $96 million facility, to be established in partnership with all NSW universities, will include laboratories and pre-clinical trial spaces that will enable early-stage RNA-based drug development. The research and pilot manufacturing facility will be built at Macquarie University and operated by Myeloid Therapeutics. 

Harbourside Shopping Centre Redevelopment

The redevelopment of Harbourside Shopping Centre at Sydney's Darling Harbour is underway. The NSW Government entered into an agreement with Mirvac to turn the site into a world-class retail, residential, commercial workplace and entertainment precinct. 

The unique design, a collaboration between Snøhetta and Hassel Studio was chosen from six entrants in an international design competition with a jury comprising representatives from the NSW Government Architect, Placemaking NSW, the City of Sydney and Mirvac.

Western Sydney Airport and Aerotropolis

Construction of Western Sydney International (Nancy -Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) is underway and on track to begin operations in 2026. The airport is a transformational infrastructure project that will generate economic activity, provide employment opportunities closer to home for people in the Western Sydney region, and meet Sydney's growing aviation needs. 

The Western Sydney Aerotropolis will become a thriving economic centre in Western Sydney. It will contribute towards 200,000 new jobs in the broader Western Parkland City and become a high-skill jobs hub across aerospace and defence, manufacturing, healthcare, freight and logistics, agribusiness, education and research industries. 

Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility

The Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) will connect Western Sydney and NSW manufacturers with world class technologies and opportunities, helping businesses to grow and supporting the creation of new high-skilled jobs. 

The AMRF will be located at Bradfield City Centre, Australia's newest, greenest, most connected and technologically advanced city. Located at the heart of the Western Parkland City and on the doorstep of the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, the AMRF will become the beating heart of a new industry and innovation hub for NSW.
