Covers Come Off Aerotropolis Central Park Plan

Aspect Studios design Aerotropolis City Central Park Plans for Bradfield.

Plans for a 2ha Central Park in “Australia’s newest city” have been unveiled creating another drawcard for Western Sydney Aerotropolis. 

The park is planned for Bradfield, the 114ha city expected to add 10,000 homes and backed by $1 billion in NSW Government investment, and part of the Aerotropolis. 

The park would be alongside the Bradfield Metro station and open in 2026. The plans are on public exhibition until July 24.

A design competition for the park was won by ASPECT Studios with a plan that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Dharug people and celebrated Sky Country.

Judges for the competition included the designer of Manhattan’s High Line in New York City, James Corner, and a number of highly regarded  architects.

Key features of the park included a skyring—an oval structure that will frame Big Sky Country and be surround by woodland—a gathering ground with capacity for 5000 people, a giant Dharug weaving heart, 65 per cent tree canopy, and many reflective surfaces including the amenities buildings.

The site is part of the Bradfield Metro Station construction site and will be levelled for the park development. 

Around the park would be civic buildings, innovation precincts and mixed-use buildings, according to the broader Bradfield City Centre Master Plan that was released in February.  

The first land release at Bradfield city centre was announced in April and comprises 1000 homes, a hotel, childcare centre, medical spaces and public domain.

Around the same time Charter Hall announced it was partnering with Western Sydney International to deliver a 20ha business precinct nearby.

This included up to 40,000sq m of modern warehouse space, a 150-room hotel, service station and convenience retail, as well as gym and conference facilities. 

NSW planning and public spaces minister Paul Scully said they wanted to have world-class, open green space in the developing city.

“Central Park will be the first impression visitors have when they arrive in Bradfield city from the new Western Sydney International Airport, so it’s critical we get it right,” Scully said.

“Investments in public spaces like Central Park are about social equity, providing the people of Western Sydney with access to more high-quality open spaces to enjoy.”
