A place to call home
Bradfield City will deliver up to 10,000 next-generation homes for Sydney, closer to high-paid, high-skilled jobs and boundless opportunity.
Major Australian infrastructure developer Plenary will deliver the first 1,400 homes on a 5.7 hectare First Land Release adjacent to the Advance Manufacturing Readiness Facility, Central Park and the Bradfield Metro Station, with 10% designated as affordable housing.
The core city precinct will integrate housing with commercial uses, a university, retail, childcare and health facilities. Bradfield City is designed as a transport oriented, high density precinct with mixed use residential living. Most homes will be within a 400 metre walk of the Bradfield Metro Station, supporting walkability and reducing car dependency.
- High density, transit oriented, master planned
- Minimum 10% affordable housing guaranteed
- Staged and infrastructure aligned, beginning with 1,400 dwellings
- Mixed-use and amenity rich, integrated with jobs, learning, and services

A high-quality, urban environment
One third of Bradfield City (more than 36 hectares) will be public open space, including the iconic two-hectare Central Park, anchoring a walkable, cycle‑friendly environment.
A 2.2 km Green Loop will link landscape and water systems to streets and public domain, driving amenity, urban cooling and active movement across the city.
Bradfield City will also feature cultural, educational and community facilities such as a university campus, childcare, retail, health services and event spaces that create a vibrant and highly liveable city of boundless opportunity.
First Land Release development partner Plenary brings extensive experience delivering complex, mixed‑use and education precincts, strengthening confidence in the early stages of city‑making and helping attract best‑fit tenants and institutions to Bradfield City's core.
Transport at the heart of the new city
Bradfield City is being created around a new high-speed Metro, connecting to the airport in just five minutes and to Greater Sydney via the main East-West T1 line from St Marys.
Major upgrades to the Northern Road and Elizabeth Drive, as well as the new toll-free M12 motorway, will connect Bradfield City to the rest of Sydney.
Five new bus networks for Bradfield City and the airport will link to surrounding centres, with 30-minute trip frequency.
Innovation city
Bradfield City is being built as an advanced-industry, innovation-led employment centre, designed to generate 20,000 local jobs within the city and over 120,000 jobs across the wider Aerotropolis.
Bradfield City will become a next-generation employment hub, with well paid, highly skilled jobs in:
- Advanced industries
- Smart city, construction and infrastructure jobs
- Research and innovation ecosystem
- High amenity working and living proposition
- Airport enabled logistics and aviation roles
- Commercial, health, education, hospitality and lifestyle services
- Connectivity to the world and the region
- Creative industries and tourism
Together with the large, skilled workforce that already exists in Western Sydney, Bradfield City will be aligned to industry needs alongside the NSW Government’s vision and the national productivity agenda.
Bradfield City is being built with digital networks as core city‑making infrastructure, delivering the ultra‑fast, resilient connectivity required by advanced and emerging industries.
Through a partnership with Superloop, Bradfield will be enabled by high‑capacity fibre and scalable digital networks designed to support data‑intensive operations, advanced manufacturing, defence, aerospace, semiconductors, and research‑led enterprises.
This secure, low‑latency digital backbone enables real‑time data transfer, high‑performance computing, automation and advanced testing – providing businesses with the environment they need to innovate, scale and compete globally from day one.
Designing with Country
Designing with Country is foundational in bringing the deep knowledge of history into Australia’s first new city in 100 years.
A commitment guided by local Traditional Owner Dharug knowledge holders and cultural design partners, narratives of Wianamatta (Mother Place), water, and the Cumberland Plain inform material choices, form, planting and public space programming.
Bradfield Development Authority’s partnering agreement with Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council formalises cooperation on cultural, social and economic outcomes across Bradfield City.
The Koori Perspectives Circle brings First Nations voices directly into city‑shaping across designing with Country, climate resilience, culture, business development and youth pathways.
Sustainability
Bradfield City embeds low‑emissions utilities, circular design and climate resilience.
Early assets demonstrate low‑embodied carbon materials, on‑site renewable energy and storage, water‑sensitive urban design and buildings designed for disassembly and reuse.
The beautiful architecture and design of the multi-award winning First Building sets the benchmark for sustainability and transparency as a Six-Star Green Star building. This includes a biosolar green roof with 14,000 native plants, on‑site solar PV and battery, rainwater harvesting, passive cooling and a public viewing gallery into the manufacturing hall.
