Deputy prime minister Warren Truss has said that Ernst & Young will join Clayton Utz and Australian Government Solicitor, who are already working on the project.
"Ernst & Young’s role as the business adviser will be integral to the work of the government’s western Sydney unit," Truss said.
"The project is about developing the infrastructure for the 21st century and creating new economic opportunities for the region."
The government plans to invest $3bn into the project, which is a part of the western Sydney infrastructure plan over the next ten years that will involve major infrastructure upgrades to transform the region’s economy.
