Bankstown Airport Aerodrome Access Road Drainage Upgrade

Bankstown Airport is the premier general aviation airport and a major commercial centre in Sydney that operates on a 24/7 basis. Home to more than 160 businesses, Bankstown Airport plays an important role as a major commercial centre within the Canterbury-Bankstown region. It serves as a flying base for Emergency Services, major flying schools and small to medium-size air freight, aircraft maintenance, charter and private business flights.

The Airport is identified as one of four Trade Gateways in the South District and its development as an economic catalyst for the South District is identified as one of the overall 18 Planning Priorities (Planning Priority S8). It identifies that the Airport site and the established Milperra industrial area, have ready access to air transport, road and rail freight networks, the proposed Moorebank intermodal terminal, Liverpool and Bankstown activity centres and the Liverpool health and education precinct.

Transport for NSW is proposing to upgrade a 1.3-kilometre length of Henry Lawson Drive, from Keys Parade, Milperra, to Tower Road, Bankstown Aerodrome. The proposed development of Southwest Precinct of the airport also included internal road upgrades.

Sparks+Partners was engaged by Sydney Metro Airports to provide civil engineering consultancy service for Bankstown Aerodrome Access Road Drainage Upgrade and Design required for ABC Submission.

Civil Engineering –Access Road Drainage Design
