I’d like to welcome you to an exciting and significant period for western Sydney, a period that sees one of Australia’s largest and most significant infrastructure projects currently being undertaken in the region.

 

The Western Sydney Airport presents an unprecedented opportunity for the region to build a world-class Aerotropolis for the 21st century. In 2015 the Sydney Business Chamber, Western Sydney commissioned a report to determine the feasibility of such a project and the steps necessary to see it through.

 

There is much work to do to support and stimulate development and growth to ensure the success of the Aerotropolis, and the myriad of opportunities that exist for all. The enthusiasm for western Sydney is shared by everyone – and we all want to work towards achieving tangible outcomes and benefits that can be felt for generations to come.

 

Join me at the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Summit, where key government and private sector leaders will explore the catalytic effect of the Western Sydney Airport and identify critical success factors to develop a world class Aerotropolis. The event will provide an in-depth and high-level discussion amongst aviation leaders, developers, investors and industry experts on development issues, growth opportunities, potential challenges and set the scene for the Aerotropolis landscape of the future.

 

I hope to see you there.
