I cant wait for jobs to come to area.

Bring it on I say.

The airport is expected to employ 9000 people directly when open and the project is expected to generate 11,000 construction jobs alone between 2018 and 2026.

 

Also Office opens in Liverpool

Western Sydney Airport headquarters opens in Liverpool

Western Sydney Airport headquarters opens in Liverpool

 

They held a meeting on Tuesday for prospective contractors/consultants. It's ramping up

 

Don't runways have to be close to level?

 

No its easier to fly out if there is a ramp at the end

 

A runway can be many things

 

I don't particularly want to be on an Airbus when it slows from 200mph to 0 in 60 m.

 

Even the most level runways have incidents regularly

 

PFO?

 

Western Sydney Airport shows the value of preserving strategically important sites and corridors

Please note Alot on PC claim airport is only freight. I have included a government link to show passengers 5,000,000 per Year is the target on open.

 

Yep. Heaps of ppl knew this all along it was only certain ppl on this forum that think they know it all who kept on saying its only for freight. - again they are wrong.

The people on here who think this was only a freight airport is kidding themselves. Who on earth will invest billions and billions of dollars to have this solely as a freight airport. If there was any business acumen on here that would be the stupidest business decision ever made.

A full service airport has many many direct and indirect economic benefits in a wide range of industries. It will be the driver for better infrastructure, population growth in the west and most importantly huge jobs growth for the duration of the builds and also ongoing operational and retail. Great news

Cant get much clearer than the statement below can it. I think we can all put it to rest now that it the new airport WILL be a full service airport.

"Western Sydney Airport would be developed in stages in response to passenger demand and would be a full-service airport, catering for all types of domestic and international passenger and freight services."

 

Looks like the job market in western sydney will have a bit of a capital injection in coming years - the 1bn+ stadium rebuild will do a lot temporarily too (throw in westconnex & nsw metro and you have an investment bonanza).

Ive said across plenty of forum posts - i don't think sydney can have any dramatic type of property price fall with all this going on. It definitely helps give time to sydneysiders to build financial resilience over time, pay down debt, etc. Overall its a very nice set of economic circumstances for a lot of sydensiders - big capital wealth increases in recent years, lots of capital investment, very low rates for the forseeable future, lots and lots of new infrastructure, a very strong local economy and low unemployment (and eventual wage impacts of that). IMO there is a household debt issue, but the above set of economic conditions & prudent regulatory intervention gives time to help manage the potential downside of this.

 

I don't know anyone who thought or mentioned that it was only for freight.
The only thing I have read was that it was going to be staged and may not do international passenger from day 1.
Though presumably that depends on how long they take to build the airport and the expected demand at that time.
Given how high population growth is tracking & how long it will take to build. I expect International to come online at the same time or very close to when domestic does.

 

Have a quick search. Some senior members who have 5000+ posts and have seen 4-5 property cycles was 100% certain this was freight only. That's why I always say to ppl on here that someone being on PC for a long time does not equate to good advice or they are always right. From my experience on here some of the stuff being talked about by so called "astute", "experienced" and "pro" investors is absolute rubbish.

Thats why after being through 4-5 cycles they are not retired and living like emirate kings.

 

At Sydney meet last week at Shark Bar a prominent member told me it was a freight airport. I will not call them out they can correct them self if they so choose.
This was not the first time a prominent member has said this on this forum and at meets.



It's not the point I was just clarifying this by sighting a government source.

Please note as per government source sited 5,000,000 annual I. Would assume it' not all Domestic.

I also can not see any government data suggesting this is a domestic airport. I feel like people thinking it' a freight airport just another assumption.

 

I haven't seen it on the forum tbh but many I know are of the opinion that it will be a mainly freight airport, I personally worry that it will just end up a low cost carrier budget airport.

Good news if it ends up a fully fledged international airport, 10 years till its operational? Gives the west 10 years to make some points of interest for tourists as right now it is quite lacking.

 

So in 10 years itll have 1/8 the passengers that syd airport had last year? Sounds like one of those next city budget airline stops. Duty free and fast food, then lots of buses for the backpackers.

 

The airport isn't a big deal in isolation. It's what is happening around it. massive tracts of farm land being rezoned, business parks, commercial buildings, residiential housing subdivisions. It's all systems go. I've lived out here my whole life, the changes happening in the last 5 years have been rapid and what is projected in 10-20 years will be huge.

 

So which suburbs will be affected by the flight paths?
