The first photos of the recently completed
Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) have just been unveiled, marking the delivery of
Australia's first major
airport in over half a century. Designed through a collaborative process by
Zaha Hadid Architects and
COX Architecture, and delivered by
Woods Bagot and Multiplex, the terminal presents a new model for airport design, one that is grounded in its setting, responsive to its context, and oriented toward the future of
travel. Located in Badgerys Creek on the Cumberland Plain, the terminal is positioned to serve as a long-term gateway to Greater
Sydney. While major
construction has concluded, final fit-outs of the terminal's retail precinct and airline lounges will be completed closer to the airport's official launch, as commercial agreements continue to progress. Western Sydney International Airport is on track to begin operations, including domestic, international, and air cargo services, in late 2026.
