It is a fact that the airport at Badgerys Creek is on its way, since the geotechnical works have begun and by the end of the current year a detailed plan for the project is going to be developed. Warren Truss, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, says "The Western Sydney airport will be among the nation's most impressive civil engineering projects over the next decade. The Commonwealth-owned land at Badgerys Creek is a large site of around 1,700 hectares and extensive investigation is required to assist in planning for the first stage of an airport. A team of engineers will be at Badgerys Creek to profile the subsoil and rock at several locations over the next six weeks."
The Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney will be replaced by the Badgerys Creek airport, which will be located at Western Sydney. The total cost for the upcoming project is $6-$8bn approximately. Excavators will dig more than 100 boreholes of a depth up to 40 metres and earthmoving equipment will dig pits five metres in depth.
Truss said "In April last year the Australian Government ended decades of uncertainty with our decision that Badgerys Creek will be the site of an airport for Western Sydney. The airport will be a major boost for the local economy, creating thousands of jobs during construction and a pipeline of tens of thousands of jobs once the airport commences operation. Work is well underway to develop a commercial proposal for an airport which could be expected to operate from the mid-2020s."
