Executive summary
The Western Sydney Airport will offer a direct connection to the rest of the word, hence allowing
many opportunities for the residents and to the local communities. It is expected that the
development will attract investments in western Sydney, which will range from logistics and
manufacturing to education, hospitality and other professional services. The airport will enable
the business to have a faster and appropriate access to the foreign markets. A wide range of
mitigation practices can be adopted to mitigate the impact the proposed Western Sydney Airport
will have on the biodiversity. The threatened species found in Badgerys Creek will be relocated,
if possible. The best way of reducing and controlling the degradation of water quality is by
understanding the potential effect of the airport’s construction and operations. By understanding
these risks.
Introduction

environmental issues across the biodiversity, heritage and noise, must be adopted for phase 1
of the proposed airport to proceed. This is a detailed set of conditions that were set by the
commonwealth regarding to the development of airports in any country
