The city is being built around 6 strategic sectors:
- Aerospace
- CleanTech
- Construction
- Defence
- Education and Research
- Freight and Logistics
These are supported by 3 key enabling capabilities:
- Advanced Manufacturing
- Semiconductors and other critical technologies
- Circular economy
These drive national capability, attract private investment, and create long-term, future-focused jobs.
Advanced Manufacturing
With its priority sectors and the anchoring Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF), Bradfield City supports Australian manufacturing moving up the value chain and finding comparative advantage in global supply chains.
Located near some of Australia’s largest industrial precincts, it offers a strong base for companies seeking to work with local manufacturing sectors supported by government programs.
Semiconductors and other critical technologies
Bradfield City is designed to drive Australia’s economic transition and resilience, starting with the NSW Government investment in Australia’s first advanced semiconductor advanced packaging capability.
With data centre development concentrating in the Aerotropolis, Bradfield City is well connected for businesses leading or needing semiconductor, quantum, AI, photonics and robotics technologies.
Circular economy
Sustainability is at the heart of Bradfield City as Australia’s first net zero city, with a focus on recyclable building materials and designing out waste.
Our greenfield site provides opportunities to pilot, test and grow emerging waste-to-resource and low carbon construction technologies.
Within the broader Aerotropolis, the regional water utility Sydney Water is developing a Circular Economy Zone anchored by an Advanced Water Recycling Centre.
