Western Sydney Airport and Metro M12 Interchange Luddenham Badgerys Creek Australia 

We can’t afford a state of the art building mate. We are not Europe or China.

This airport is being built for cargo primarily. The shipping containers won't be too bothered by how it looks.

We dont care about the design mate what we care is technology and adaptability and this airport is capable for all of the needs

Airports that are being built in Europe and all other places already have good, sustainable links to them. Western Sydney Airport does not. More money has to be allocated to all sorts of things. An airport is an airport. You like it or you don’t, look at the inside renders. They are comparable to some in Europe, don’t judge an airport based on the exterior looks.

@@bortfieldit’s not, it’s being built to help passenger traffic away from SYD. There is no curfew on freight aircraft at Kingsford Smith.

Thanks 👍

Thanks

It looks badly planned. Those distances to walk to car parks and the train station needs a cut lunch . Would it have hurt them to put the station on a greenfield site where they could have done anything actually under or right in front of the terminal.

Same here!

@@BigJayDogAdventures yep

Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome, thank you!

It’s an international airport

moron. why don't you just take all of your government subsidies and pretend that you can actually run a viable economic business. Farmers - way worse than dole bludgers.

What drivel, Sydney Airport at Mascot is continuing. Western Sydney Airport is a second airport for Sydney for the millions who live in western Sydney. If you live in Newcastle, Wollongong, Northern Beaches and Eastern suburbs or want to go to and from the Sydney CBD you will continue to fly into Sydney Airport at Mascot.

Unless they have flights from Sydney airport

You should live out far west nsw, only a few planes land here,

@@pmeridian5902 Only for Qantas and domestic flight and top tier Airline like Singapore, Qatar and Emirate Airline, too expensive for parking at Mascot

If anything WSI is going to help the problem since it will me a 24/7 airport, therefore giving people the ability tocatch those last few trains of the night and get a scheduled flight around the same time. Now what they need to do is introduce better nightly service apart from the hourly night rides in the Sydney Metro area that don't even stop at every station. If we can get at least a similar service for the intercity lines and the new metro line then it will allow people in Wollongong and Newcastle the ability to travel through the public transport dead times and see them avoid getting a short flight to sydney for a higher cost.

pro tip we dont build infrastructure on the now... we build it on the 5yrs, 10yrs + timeframe otherwise we end up like public education in nsw which has lacked in investment for about a decade

Sydney airport can't take planes, but more importantly freight, at night time due to curfew

Thanks 👍

It's an airport in the Western Suburbs, what do you wan't it to look like, people won't be going there to wonder at the architecturally beautiful roof.

@@-PORK-CHOP-people won’t be going there full stop. Do it by half Australians. You’ll need a bus to get from that station it’s set so far back.

Thanks FeatherFlloof it will open at the end of 2026 after a full year of testing

@@BigJayDogAdventures Thanks!!

You and me both!

They got inspired by Brisbane International.

Agree. While it may be functional (yet to be seen how well), the exterior design is about as basic and ugly as you could possibly conceive. Perhaps the interior will make up for it. With the excellent architectural design and aesthetics that has been seen in the new Sydney Metro stations, it makes you wonder how our 2nd international airport design got approved looking so blah + meh (nouveau critique terminology).

Australia can’t afford building a nice airport. We are struggling.

@@hanygeorge8603 there are airports built overseas that cost less than $11 billions amd look far more modern than this crap

I grew up in Stanmore. Planes flying over every 10 to 15 mins and that was back in the early to mid 80's.

oi.. wah. airport was there before you were there

Aircraft have got significantly quieter compared to those flying 30 years ago. Not saying there won't be an impact but it will be much less disruptive than what you experienced. Also consider that the location was first proposed for the 2nd airport in 1969 and officially announced as the location in 1986 (construction first began in 1992). At that time Badgery's Creek and surrounds had little to no residential housing, instead it was nearly all small farms. Developers and people who have chosen to build and live in the area in the last 38 years have done so with full knowledge the 2nd airport was going to be built there. If you had lived there before 1986, you would have grounds for complaint. If you moved there after 1986 you knew what was planned.

The airport was on the cards to be built there forever before anyone moved there, the new resident's knew this before buying there.
