Western Sydney property boom

This region is set to undergo transformative growth thanks to infrastructure projects like the new international airport, the Bradfield City Centre and the Aerotropolis industrial precincts.

Sam Khalil, Managing Director of DPN, was recently interviewed on the exciting property investment opportunities arising in Western Sydney. "This region is set to undergo transformative growth thanks to projects like the new Western Sydney International Airport, Bradfield City Centre, and the Aerotropolis industrial precincts, " said Sam.

Western Sydney International Airport

The new airport is at the heart of this transformation. Set to open in 2026, it will operate 24 hours a day and will feature a metro station, forming part of the broader Aerotropolis precinct. Located in Badgerys Creek, the airport is poised to drive employment growth, which, in turn, is expected to fuel housing demand.

Bradfield City Centre & Aerotropolis

Adjacent to the airport lies Bradfield City Centre, a business hub that will feature high-tech industries, research and education facilities. With its own metro train station, Bradfield will be a key connector between the airport and surrounding areas.

The broader Aerotropolis is home to the Northern Gateway, Bradfield City Centre, and an Agribusiness Precinct. With a $20 billion infrastructure investment pipeline, the region is set to attract businesses and workers alike.

Unprecedented demand for property

Several other projects are fuelling the region's growth:

  • A new Metro Train network will link key hubs such as Luddenham, the Airport Business Park, and Bradfield, ensuring seamless access for residents and workers.
  • The $1.9 billion Macarthur Business Park will create up to 10,000 jobs, further driving housing demand.
  • Major road upgrades, including the M12 Motorway and improvements to The Northern Road, Bringelly Road and Elizabeth Drive, will improve connectivity across the precinct.

These projects point to unprecedented growth in the region, creating strong demand for property, particularly in the south-western suburbs.

Wollondilly: An investment hotspot

Wollondilly, Sydney's most south-western local government area, is projected to experience a staggering 72% population growth over the next two decades. This boom will require around 750 new dwellings per year to keep pace with demand.

The upcoming Picton town upgrades, will include new government buildings, a library, and a central plaza, further enhancing the region’s appeal. However, as demand surges, supply will need to keep up, and the pressure on housing availability could lead to rising property prices and rents.

Housing supply is limited

The Sydney basin is geographically constrained, bordered by the beaches on one side and the Blue Mountains on the other. Western and south-western Sydney represent the last substantial tracts of land available for development. However, supply is struggling to meet demand.

The Housing Accord’s target of 1.2 million new dwellings over the next five years is falling short. Recent figures show that NSW is already behind, with a projected housing shortfall of 73,000. Without immediate action, this shortfall will only grow, increasing the pressure on house prices and rents. DPN believes that shovel-ready projects and flexibility in dwelling types are crucial to addressing this issue and accommodating future residents.

Wollondilly returns: Investment success with DPN

DPN has successfully sold and continues to offer investment properties in Tahmoor, a suburb within the Wollondilly region. Tahmoor has seen a 51.9% capital growth over the past five years, equating to 8.7% per annum. DPN currently offers house & land packages to build dual income homes in Tahmoor, where property prices remain affordable, and rental yields are strong.

In summary

For investors, the south-western corridor represents a unique opportunity to capitalise on the region's growth, particularly as demand for housing outstrips supply. DPN’s clients are already experiencing significant capital growth, and with interest rate cuts potentially on the way, this is the time to invest in Western Sydney.
