Nice to see it progressing well. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
It is good that you now show lables of places and directional arrows. I can not work out where places are if just looking at the overview flights. Good job.
Good to see progress. I was very sceptical about the December 2026 opening date at the beginning.
I often drive down Elizabeth drive and always look across at the works but in seeing this video I can see how much work has been done and that's a lot work! I get very excited at the prospect of the 10 minute drive to be being dropped off at the airport to catch a flight. Thankyou for the video!
Nice to see everything progressing so well. Fantastic footage mate. Western Sydney won't ever be the same when this opens!
Totally agree
And about 40 years in the making. They have been talking about that for decades.
Sydneys second airport's getting a new metro and Victoria's main Airport still only has a freeway :( Metro project even got paused :/
wish our old airport in Sydney would get a metro.
Its already got a higer seating capacity rail service.
Jeez, its amazing to know they already have the huge glass windows in and the gates to board the planes!
Yet another great video clip from you. Thanks so much for creating and sharing. So much progress is going on, I just love it! DM.
Cheers
Great video, as always. The progress is fantastic, all seen (for me) through your videos. Excellent work.
Thank you very much!
Your videos are becoming more and more professional. So much more detail shown in this one making even greater to see. Well done. If your able to drop your drone down some so we can see the glazing and closer look at the roof fit out , only if your able thank you.
Glad you like them!
I lived in Sydney 1988 and the discussion was 3 Rd runway or badderys Creek. Will be opened by 2028 .
Another great video JD thanks for the update much appreciated. 👍
Thanks 👍
There Ya go Big JayDog. Tick. Nice update.
Cheers mate
Thanks mate.
You're welcome!
excellent photography & so informative. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I totally agree 👍 well done BJD 👏
Nicely done 😊
Thankyou sir
Think of how many construction workers will be available for other projects once these associated works are completed. Residential construction can boom again at the big scale. Great well built infrastructure which will last a century supporting the states economy all the way.
That train station seems like a long way away from the terminal. Why wouldn’t they have built it directly under the terminal like most modern airports.
Wow!
In the 60’s and 70’s my dad owned a lot of farm land in Orchard Hills.
In fact I used to drive on my L’s around there.😂
Then the government bought it off him for pittance under the green belt and built western Sydney campus.
Now this..
Wow!
Thankyou
This video makes me sad for times gone by..
But it’s a great video..
PS
I love the music..
Great comment, it would have been pristine land back then
@@BigJayDogAdventures
It certainly was. We had chooks/layers and pig farms.
Jay dog you aren’t part of the trucking company out that way are you.
Mad dog etc?
I have my reason for asking
Nope
@@BigJayDogAdventures ok Thankyou
When WSI Airport is complete, it'll be the new main international air gateway to Oceania. Maybe it'll serve newer long distance flights like London-Heathrow, Paris-CDG, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Istanbul, Seattle, Miami, Atlanta, Washington-Dulles, New York-JFK, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago-O'Hare, Detroit, Denver, Calgary, and Toronto-Pearson, just to name a bunch. I can't pick many South American destinations because it's too far, but I can pick São Paulo-Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires-Ezeiza, even though they're south of the equator like Australia. Although, SYD Airport serves Santiago, I'll let WSI take that too.
It'll be interesting to see what happens, WSI's got the land ready and waiting for future expansion, though I'm unsure by how much.
I'm working on the airport and I'm making 3200 a week after tax thankyou guys
What do you do at the airport?
Thankyou mate without the construction workers we would not have these world class facilities
Are you doing 50+ hours a week
Yes alot of hours guys
@@ployj4303 im currently on the excavator and pipe welding
The most popular flight from Western Sydney Airport would be the one that fly's to Kingsford Smith Airport so you can get to the city faster!
Will be great to have less west Sydney people commuting/using the existing airport
Yes it will take the load of Sydney airport
Great for Sydney, and very sad for Melbourne, they had a good twenty years to get a rail link to the airport but it's still buses - Melbourne the second rate hub most airlines can't be bothered with - very sad...
Don't be sad - that rail link is going nowhere
Dude... that must be why Melbourne has flights departing and arriving 24 hours a day from airlines all over the world. What's that... what about the curfew I hear you ask... no curfew in Melbourne... just flights arriving and departing to meet the needs of travellers and airlines. Meanwhile on my night flight from Hong Kong into Sydney... "Yeah... we're gonna need to circle around for about 40 minutes and watch the sun rise before we're allowed to land without waking anyone up..." OR.... domestically "Yeah... due to the delay don't e ground here in Cairns.... we've kinda missed out departure time this evening to be able to land in Sydney before the curfew.... so we're not actually taking off tonite.... " Good luck.
Sad for travellers.... and sad that Australia's largest city has no airport rail link... like EVERY other world-class city on the planet.
Agreed!@@timothyjohns3561
Was this filmed on a weekend? It seems that in nearly every shot, hardly any activity is going on. Lots of shiny new equipment and nothing much else happening. If this was in the USA, you would see teams of people working 24/7. You would never see equipment sitting idle like those cranes.. No wonder things take so long to happen here in OZ.
Such a modern facility yet will still have a multitude of trucks carrying aviation fuel down the M4! No pipeline from Clyde or Botany. One accident with one of these trucks could shut the M4 for days. I’m surprised that the mayors and politicians in all the suburbs between the fuel imports and the airport aren’t screaming about this impending environmental catastrophe. All the diesel fumes and traffic snarls.
Yes this was a political football at one point I’m not sure if the pipeline issue is settled. The initial report had suggested it wasn’t feasible until 2031 when the second runway and terminal would be open but I think there was upheaval, let’s hope the pipeline will be built for the opening.
Not to mention how delightful it will be for passengers who've just enjoyed 20 hours of travelling to board a train to St Mary's where they then have to get on an already crowded train with all of their luggage and stand up all the way to Sydney. That will be fun.
Still looks like it’s going to be very small. Eight aerobridges?
Took them a while, though.
Well done Sydney finally getting a second airport. Its hugh but sad that theres only one runway. Why can't they built 2 runways. its going to be very expensive to built the second runway next time.
How is that crane going to come down stuck in the middle of the roof section at the airport?🧐
It is well stuck, I guess some of it will have to stay
dismantled, then removed a bit at a time.
At the moment South Western Sydney near the Sydney Airport full of traffic during day time, even more traffic than inner Sydney. I reject the job there because I dont want to waste my time travelling to work each day .What do you think will happen 10-20 million tourist arrive there when the Airport complete? The metro station not enough, they need to build more tunnel , more freeway .that why the project delay and people still dont agree with the Airport.
I'm 71 years old male , I remember the Federal Government announced in February 1986 that Badgerys Creek had been chosen as the location for a second major airport for Sydney ... that as 37 + after few few years on Survey . operation starts 2026 thats another 3 more = 40 years from today 2023 , then it's only on stage ONE ! whatever that means . fully operation date is still unavailable ! typical western government projects , 10 years and 10 times the time and cost from the original plan ...even the current 3rd world country have better management on their government projects !
Both projects are an example of poor decission making. The railway that should be to this poorly located airport is the heavy rail line from leppington. (the airport should have been built at Wilton)
For someone living in Randwick for the past 11years, the new airport means noise - NOISE!!!!!!!!! - lots of noise people - you have been living in a previous pristine noiseless area...NOISE and vibrations you have never felt before...............= lots of pissed off people
Yes, that’s called living in a big city.
Good video mate, is it new international airport?
International
@@BigJayDogAdventures Thanks mate when the new airport open?
I remembered that the repeat history of urban design always flawed the future development that it was same compared to London Gatwick Airport as same as St Mary, Sydney of Australia for the predicted flawed event in the future!
It's a tragedy to have two incompatible train networks in our biggest city........
Basically three because airport metros and metro northwests will have different trains and electricity types…
@@rileyeyeyy Modern version of having 3 rail gauge standards in the one City. Not smart at all
It’s really not. The idea of compatibility is vastly overrated, and indeed has caused Sydney a lot of problems in the past due to the knock on effects of a breakdown.
@@kerrynball2734it’s not the same thing at all. On lines that have frequent services, compatibility can actually be a negative. If too many lines are linked together this can cause knock on effects to reverberate around the network. Independent lines means problems can be isolated, and better technology can be used for future lines.
@@rileyeyeyywhich is perfectly fine. You rarely need rolling stock to move to other lines, and more interchanging can actually create a more reliable network.
Not impressed at the significant distance between the airport station and the terminal. Seems extremely poor planning and a decent walk with luggage when you could have built under or just in front.
There will probably be a shuttle bus going back and forth
Maybe a travelator will be installed it looks about 150 metres away
So this airport will get a rail line before Melbourne…. FFS!
Yea I you guys should have an underground metro, is anything on the the horizon as I’m not there
Luckily we had a liberal government for long enough before Labour got in and had a chance to cancel it
Labor is reviewing the sky-rocketing state debt left by the Liberals..and the appalling record of the Liberals of completing on time or budget. There is nothing wrong with that. They have cancelled nothing.
@@garrywallace1007obviously never ever been to Victoria then. A state with a budget TWICE the size of NSW so stop that crap about Liberal debt. And Victoria is a smaller state. And is Labor. Every one of our projects has blown out on both budget and time.
It's not a competition for incompetence.. The liberal management of rail in NSW has been terrible.. Two different rail standards for the metros, two different tram standards, Bankstown conversion a mess with no opening date ... and on and on.
Fairly typical of Australia scene. Lot of publicity but not many people can be seen working.
Your funny. Did you happen to notice that the shadows are really long ? I’d say there’s not so many people doing overtime!
Speaking of Penrith, are you gonna do some footage over Penrith soon?
Union job watch the budget Blow out. common in QLD
Given the global economic situation also, it's a blow out for sure, but the project's been a long time coming, typical politics bs.
I believe that the Metro is a downgrade of the rail system. There is not even going to be a direct train link with Mascot, you will have to change trains at Glenfield. This is absolute madness.
The downgrade of the Bankstown line from a 8 car double deck to a 6 car single deck , where passengers will have to change at Bankstown is an act of absolute stupidity. The cost is not warranted. Instead of downgrading the Bankstown line, the Metro should be built to take in another destination.
Metro is actually superior, and capable of carrying more people per hour than heavy rail (especially on the Bankstown line). Metro can run more frequently, so T can carry more people per hour. The fact it’s driverless means it’s less susceptible to sickness or strikes. And to top it off metro is for more suited to an airport line because it makes it easier for people with baggage. Last thing I’d mention is there’s a plan for the WSI to be connected to the Sydney CBD in the future via the metro west line. This will make moving between both airports fairly easy - Mascot to Wynyard, transfer across to the Metro at Hunter st for a direct connection to WSI.
@@sandylanceley3860
No credible proof has ever been presented to justify your case.
@@sandylanceley3860 The fact the Sydney Metro has a maximum frequency of 4 minutes. The Sydney double deck railways have a frequency of less than 3 minutes on some lines. There is plenty of space on the larger loading gauge double deck trains, I have used them many times to the Airport. On the other hand I have been squashed in over crowded single deck metro trains many times travelling to and from overseas Airports. The proposed Metro system is absolute stupidity. Extending the existing heavy rail line from Leppington would be much cheaper to build, and provide a far quicker direct trip to Kinsford Smith Airport and the City.
Isn’t it great what you can do when your state gets 45% of the national infrastructure budget?
The federal govt promised billions for the Victorian airport metro, then the Victorian govt put it on ice. 🤷♂️
@@sandylanceley3860
Victoria was the state most affected by the pandemic so we are dealing with the cost of that now. Unfortunately, that mean putting off a couple of major projects, such as the airport rail link (that was first promised in 1958...).
@@thethirdman225 Maybe, but I don’t see the point complaining NSW got more when Victoria can’t even spend some that was allocated.
Anyway, NSW got more because a second airport was desperately needed. An airport that’s been in the pipeline for decades.
@@sandylanceley3860
*_"Maybe, but I don’t see the point complaining NSW got more when Victoria can’t even spend some that was allocated."_*
Given the relative population sizes, I'd say that has nothing to do with it. It remains true that 45% of the federal infrastructure budget goes to NSW, nearly all of it to Sydney.
When Victoria started removing level crossings, Andrews approached then PM Tony Abbott, who flatly refused to help at all, saying that the federal government only helps fund roads (this was a lie). As a result, the Victoria Government has had to go it alone in this massive project.
*_"Anyway, NSW got more because a second airport was desperately needed. An airport that’s been in the pipeline for decades."_*
I don't see what that's got to do with such an asymmetrical split of costs.
@@thethirdman225 The point I’m making is the 45% is a snapshot in time. It can’t always be equal, because sometimes a large project will need funding that makes the spend disproportionate to the population size. In this case it was the WSI airport and associated railway. (The railway was shared in cost)
NSW is 33% of Australia’s population, a window where it gets 45% is only a 25% increase above its population. Not significant given a major project is being done that this city needs desperately (a 24hr airport)
Zzzzzz
While politicians talk about reducing everyone’s carbon footprint they build a new 2nd airport. Maybe the planes will run on electricity from solar or from passengers methane gas they produce onboard?
Sould have built a verry fast train Sydney to Melbourne, then there would be ano need for a second Airport.
I wonder if they will build a BunningsWarehouse out there ?
