In Australia, responsibilities for such a major piece of infrastructure are shared - the Commonwealth/federal government is responsible for the airport itself and the State of NSW for the land transport access infrastructure that is needed to service it - noting that, however, the Commonwealth provided substantial funding to the State for such projects.
