The $10 billion Western Sydney Airport (WSA) will be developed in stages by the Federal Government-owned Western Sydney Airport Corporation (WSA Co.) in response to increasing passenger demand. The first stage, due to open in 2026, will see a single runway airport constructed with capacity for up to 10 million passengers a year. WSA Co. announced in December 2017 that works will be tendered through a series of separate procurements. Package 1 (bulk earthworks and airside civil); Package 2 (terminal building and precinct) and Package 3 (landside buildings, car parking, ground transport and utilities). Expressions of Interest for the Bulk Earthworks Package A were called for in August 2018, with a preferred tenderer expected to be selected in the second half of 2019. WSA Co intends to commence procurement of Package 2 and 3 in 2020 after Package 1 is awarded. WSA have recently announced that Bechtel will be the delivery partner to provide project management, planning, design development and construction management services for the overall project.
