The winning contractor, set to be finalised in the middle of next year, will be tasked with designing and developing an integrated international and domestic passenger terminal. Construction is expected to begin by the end of 2021.
As planned, the terminal precinct will feature a public plaza, retail and dining spaces. It will also be connected to the new M12 Motorway and Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport train service.
Western Sydney Airport CEO Simon Hickey said: “The advantage of designing a new airport from the ground up is taking a fresh, new approach, learning from the global experiences of airports, passengers and airlines.
“As well as looking at what makes the world’s best airports work so well, we gained insights from our airline MoU partners that helped us design a terminal that will make catching a plane fast and easy.”
