Airport Plan

The Western Sydney Airport – Airport Plan (Airport Plan) outlines the approach to the design and development of Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI).

The Airport Plan was originally prepared in 2016 to provide the authorisation for the initial stage of WSI (a single runway facility capable of handling up to 10 million passengers per year).

2020 variation

The Airport Plan was varied in July 2020 to authorise environmental mitigation and utility works in areas of Badgerys Creek and Oaky Creek that adjoin the Airport site. A small number of other minor and administrative changes were also made. 

2021 variation

A further variation to the Airport Plan was made in September 2021 to provide authorisation for the sections of the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport rail line to be built on the WSI site.
