The NSW Government plans to call Sydney\u2019s new \u2018hi-tech\u2019 city at Bringelly \u2018Bradfield\u2019, in honour of the engineer who helped shape Sydney.
\nThe city centre will be built on the doorstep of the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. It will grow into Sydney\u2019s third city, to take its place alongside the other great city centres of Sydney and Parramatta.
\nBradfield was selected after the community was asked to have a say, with a panel settling on the final decision to honour John Bradfield\u2019s enduring city-shaping impact on Sydney, including his major contribution the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
\nNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said Bradfield will define Australia\u2019s first 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0Century City, which will be a key driver of economic growth and deliver up to 200,000 jobs across the Western Parkland City.
\n\u201cBradfield was a renowned engineer who designed and oversaw the construction of both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney\u2019s original railway network,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cThe name Bradfield is synonymous with delivering game-changing infrastructure and it sets the right tone for the area we have referred to as the \u2018Aerotropolis Core\u2019 until now.
\n\u201cThis area will be transformed into a thriving city centre, home to advanced manufacturing, research, science and education and we want Bradfield to be as iconic as the existing major city centres of Sydney and Parramatta.
\n\u201cWhat are paddocks now will be a thriving, bustling city centre offering the best job opportunities anywhere in Australia.\u201d
\nMinister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the area to be named Bradfield is more than 100 hectares and sits north of the existing suburb of Bringelly. It is at the heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and will eventually lend its name to surrounding areas.
\n\u201cThe number of suggestions the community put forward to \u2018Name the Place\u2019 was overwhelming and we are thrilled with the level of participation and interest this project attracted,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cWe thank everyone for having their say and want to assure the community the remaining suggestions will be considered as names for streets, parks and other landmarks in the new city centre.
\n\u201cI look forward to Bradfield being the first name that people think of when starting a new job, creating a new business, learning a new skill and investing in NSW.\u201d
\nJohn Bradfield\u2019s Grandson Jim Bradfield has welcomed the announcement.
\n“It is a great honour that my grandfather\u2019s name continues to be associated with major infrastructure developments in and around Sydney,\u201d Mr Bradfield said.
\n\u201cWe hope his achievements will inspire generations to come, and help shape the future of our urban landscape.\u201d
\nThe name Bradfield was a popular community suggestion in the \u2018Name the Place\u2019 process and will now be put to the Geographical Names Board of NSW.
\nThe NSW Government has 18 Foundation Partner commitments, including with Suez, Siemens, Hitachi, Sydney Water and Northrup Grumman, and continues to formalise relationships with a number of other partners, including FedEx, Romar Engineering and Quickstep in the creation of the innovative ecosystem at the Aerotropolis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
