Key Role Secured on Western Sydney International Airport
WSP has been awarded the contract for the Independent Certifier (IC) role on the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, a project set to be a catalyst for long-term growth in the region.
WSP will be the provider of certification for the Design & Construction Services required to bring this transformational project to life, ensuring that they will meet the needs of the rapidly growing region for years to come. This includes certification of the bulk earthworks, pavement works, terminal and speciality works and landside civils and buildings for client, Western Sydney Airport.
Western Sydney was identified as a priority in the NSW Government's A Metropolis of Three Cities - The Greater Sydney Region Plan which envisions a Western Parkland City propelled by a thriving Airport and Western Sydney Aerotropolis that will help to create an estimated 200,000 new jobs. Western Sydney International will provide a long term and diverse source of economic activity, as well as improving access to domestic and international aviation services for the region.
Along with delivering positive outcomes for Western Sydney, the project will also have wider reaching benefits for the nation's economy by providing an additional gateway for local and international travel in Australia, attracting a greater number of visitors and improved accessibility to interstate services.
More Than an Aviation Project
Mark Boone, WSP's Aviation Lead in Australia says, "We look forward to bringing our combined global and local aviation experience to the project and working collaboratively with the project stakeholders to deliver what is best for project and end-users.
"This is the chance for those involved to shape and influence the long-term liveability of the region. It's an opportunity to ensure that growth in Western Sydney is sustainable and that we are all kept accountable in creating safer outcomes for communities with better future connectivity and access to jobs."
