Western Sydney Airport
The Western Sydney Airport (also known as Badgerys Creek Airport) is a
designated site for the second Sydney airport, located within the suburb of
Badgerys Creek. The Airport is a planned 24 hour, curfew-free airport. The site
was officially designated by the Federal Government on 15 April 2014, after
decades of debate on the location of another airport within the Sydney basin.
The site of the proposed airport is situated 44 kilometres (27 mi) west of the
Sydney CBD and 41 km (25 mi) west of the Kingsford Smith Airport. The site is
located within 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the Blue Mountains National Park (UNESCO
World Heritage Site) and lies 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east to Warragamba Dam,
Sydney's largest drinking water catchment. The airport is legislated for
construction via the Commonwealth Governments Airports Act 1996, and is known as
Sydney West Airport under this Act.
The airport resides at an elevation of 262 ft (80 m) above mean sea level.
