Investing in Penrith

St Marys is Western Sydney’s most compelling mixed-use investment opportunity. As the only established centre directly linked to the new 24-hour Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) via the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport (WSA) line, it will provide a fast and reliable connection between Greater Sydney and global markets.

With direct T1 rail links to Sydney CBD, Parramatta and the Blue Mountains, this connectivity strengthens the long‑term potential of the St Marys Town Centre as a place to live, work, visit and invest. This strengthened urban setting attracts mixed‑use development, residential, education, creative industries, start-ups, hotels and vibrant hospitality offerings that build on the area’s established, character‑rich foundation.

With the St Marys Town Centre Master Plan backed by the NSW Government, the direction for the next 20 years is clear. St Marys is moving from planning to delivery, with growth supported by coordinated infrastructure and certainty at the heart of it all. The time for St Marys is now.

Located at the entrance to the new Western Sydney Airport and Aerotropolis, we are at the forefront of progress and possibility, perfectly placed to help forward-thinking businesses and investors achieve new levels of success. All fields of enterprise are set to prosper in our thriving region, with five super sectors identified to capitalise on the expansion and transformation of Sydney’s north-south growth arc – Tourism, Freight & Logistics, Food Research & Innovation, Advanced Manufacturing, and Health & Education.

• The Northern Gateway is the city of Bradfield’s premier employment precinct, hosting freight and logistics, advanced manufacturing, defence, and aviation services.
• Sydney Science Park will be a nationally renowned hub of research, development and education, anchored by universities, research centres and industry specialising in an array of emerging technologies.

Major projects currently underway within the Western Sydney Aerotropolis include;

• Western Sydney (Nancy-Bird Walton) International Airport (Australian Government)
• Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport (Sydney Metro)
• Bradfield City Centre (Bradfield Development Authority)

• The Northern Road Upgrade (Transport for NSW)
• M12 Motorway (Transport for NSW)

The draft Penrith Aerotropolis Development Contributions Plan (the Plan) proposes a sustainable funding model for the delivery of essential infrastructure in the emerging Aerotropolis precinct.
The Plan seeks to deliver $815 million by apportioning a contribution rate of 5.5% for development within the Aerotropolis in Penrith’s Local Government Area to fund local roads, bridges, active transport connections, parks and community facilities.

Previously released as a joint plan between Penrith and Liverpool City Councils in 2020-21, a key change is that both councils now have their own Plans to enable greater autonomy and simplified administration of the Plan.  

With the total cost of local infrastructure for both councils estimated at $2.8 billion, the individual contribution plans now better reflect the unique requirements and costs of infrastructure associated with each Local Government Area.
