The construction industry is booming in Sydney, Australia. In the past few years, there has been an influx of new projects and developments that are transforming the city. As we move into 2023, this trend is only expected to continue. This blog post will provide a comprehensive overview of the major construction projects taking place in Sydney and New South Wales this year.
One of the most significant projects currently underway is the Western Sydney Airport (Nancy-Bird Walton Airport). This project is set to revolutionize air travel in the region, with two runways and a capacity for up to 10 million passengers each year. The airport is expected to be completed by 2026.
Another major development is WestConnex, which will connect western Sydney with other parts of the city via a series of tunnels and roads. This project will improve traffic flow throughout the area and reduce congestion on existing roads. It is scheduled for completion in 2023.
The Parramatta Light Rail project is also underway, providing better public transport options for residents of Parramatta and surrounding areas. The light rail will link Parramatta with other parts of Sydney, making it easier for people to get around without relying on cars or buses. The project is due for completion by 2024.
Sydney Metro is another large-scale infrastructure project that has been planned for some time now. It involves extending existing metro lines as well as building new ones to connect different parts of the city more efficiently. The first stage of this project was completed in 2019 and further stages are planned over the next few years.
Barangaroo – One Sydney Harbour and Crown are two other major developments taking place in Sydney this year. Barangaroo – One Sydney Harbour will create a new waterfront precinct along Darling Harbour while Crown will be an integrated resort complex located at Barangaroo South featuring luxury hotels, restaurants, retail outlets and entertainment venues. Both projects are due for completion by 2023/2024 respectively.
In addition to these large-scale projects, there are also many smaller developments taking place across the city this year such as 133-145 Castlereagh Street, 338 Pitt Street, 50 Phillip Street, 505 George Street, 55 Pitt Street as well as numerous others listed on My Sydney. These smaller developments may not have as much impact on the city overall but they still contribute significantly to its growth and development over time.
Finally, there are also plenty of job opportunities available within the construction industry in Sydney right now including experienced carpenters, formworkers/steelfixers/concreters as well as general labourers (as listed on Indeed). With so many projects underway at once there’s no shortage of work available for those looking to get involved in construction work this year!
