Join Transport Australia in Western Sydney on Tuesday, 27 October for an industry lunch exploring the transport system shaping the next chapter of Western Sydney.
Just two days after Western Sydney International Airport welcomes its first passengers, the conversation will turn to what comes next as the region moves from planning and construction into operation, connectivity and growth.
With the airport opening, freight already moving, and the continued development of Bradfield City Centre and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, the focus is shifting to how roads, public transport, freight networks and major economic precincts will work together as one connected system.
Hear from three senior leaders shaping the future of transport across NSW:
The Hon. Jenny Aitchison MP, NSW Minister for Roads and Minister for Regional Transport, will provide a keynote address on the infrastructure, connectivity and long-term planning supporting Western Sydney’s continued growth.
Josh Murray, Secretary, Transport for NSW, will also deliver a keynote address before joining the panel discussion, bringing a whole-of-network perspective on the opportunities and challenges ahead as Western Sydney enters this next phase of development.
Camilla Drover, Chief Executive, Sydney Metro, will join the panel discussion, bringing her extensive experience in the delivery of major transport infrastructure and her perspective on the role of an integrated transport network in supporting Western Sydney’s continued growth.
Transport infrastructure will play a critical role in unlocking housing, connecting communities to jobs and education, supporting access to the airport and surrounding economic precincts, and moving people and freight efficiently across the region.
This lunch will bring together leaders from government and industry to explore the infrastructure, policy and partnerships needed to connect Western Sydney International Airport, Bradfield City Centre, the Aerotropolis, local communities, freight corridors and employment lands — and support the region’s growth for decades to come.
We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday, 27 October. |
