Western Sydney is booming in 2025, with large-scale developments transforming the region into one of Australia’s most dynamic growth corridors. For civil contractors,
Developers and construction companies alike, these projects offer significant opportunities to participate in shaping the infrastructure and commercial landscape.
At CMS Contracting, we’re closely following the construction pipeline across the region. Here are the top 5 projects that every builder and developer should be paying attention to this year.
1. Bradfield City Centre – Western Sydney Aerotropolis
The Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport is just the beginning. Surrounding the airport is the Bradfield City Centre, an ambitious smart city development projected to become Australia’s newest hub for advanced manufacturing, aerospace, agribusiness, and logistics.
Why it matters:
● $1 billion government investment in infrastructure
● Civil and earthworks packages are still in procurement
● Long-term opportunities for construction companies through staged
development

● Supports broader commercial developments in surrounding precincts
3. Parramatta Powerhouse Museum Precinct
