Bradfield City Centre has reached a transformative milestone, with plans for its iconic two-hectare Central Park officially approved by the NSW Government. Designed to be the beating heart of Australia’s first new city in over a century, the park is poised to drive both community connection and economic momentum within the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
A Vision Grounded in Country
Inspired by the stories and knowledge of the Dharug people, Central Park reflects deep respect for Country. A key feature—the Sky Ring—will frame the sky while offering shelter, capturing rainwater, and dispersing a cooling mist, enhancing the experience for visitors year-round.
The park’s landscape will be brought to life with more than 550 mature trees and 70,000 native plants, alongside public art, play areas, and active learning spaces. The “Gathering Green” will serve as a flexible event space, capable of hosting everything from festivals to community markets.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully commented:
“We want Bradfield City Centre to be a place where people come to work and stay to play. Green infrastructure like Central Park ensures we’re delivering a world-class city built around people, nature and culture.”
A Catalyst for Aerotropolis Growth
Bradfield’s Central Park is more than a green space—it’s a strategic investment in the social, cultural, and economic fabric of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. With the park located adjacent to the Bradfield Metro Station and Western Sydney International Airport, it will offer unparalleled connectivity and act as a front door to the city for global visitors.
Projected to support over 10,000 new homes and 20,000 jobs, this park is a key step in shaping a livable, vibrant, and economically powerful region. The Central Park project follows the opening of the AMRF’s Stage 1 and recent approval of the Bradfield City Centre Master Plan—confirming the precinct’s rapid transformation.
A Shared Commitment to City-Making
Nick Estephen, Co-Founder & Director of Bradfield International Real Estate, shared his vision for the precinct’s future:
“The approval of Central Park marks a defining moment not just for Bradfield City Centre, but for the entire Aerotropolis. This park will be the social and cultural anchor that gives life to the city—a space where business, community and nature meet.”
Thomas Mosca, Co-Founder & Director, added:
“This isn’t just a park—it’s a foundation stone for a globally significant city. The integration of cultural identity, environmental sustainability and design innovation sets a new benchmark for what urban development in Australia should aspire to be.”
Looking Ahead
Construction procurement is now underway, with work set to begin soon. Backed by over $1 billion in state investment, Bradfield City Centre is quickly taking shape—and Central Park will be at its heart.
For Bradfield International Real Estate, this is another confirmation that the Aerotropolis is no longer just a vision—it’s becoming reality.
