Western Sydney fuel pipeline
Project overview
To ensure successful operation and growth of the Western Sydney International Airport, it is essential to establish an efficient fuel supply to the area. Transport for NSW have identified route options for fuel pipeline corridors, that will be constructed and operated by a fuel supplier.
Key benefits
- Provide efficient and secured fuel supply to the Western Sydney International Airport Precinct and the surrounding precincts
- The fuel pipeline will provide reduced road congestion, vehicle emissions and improved road safety.
By 2031 the Western Parkland City is expected to be home to more than half of Sydney’s population. At the centre of this growth is the Western Sydney (Nancy-Bird Walton) International Airport and the surrounding airport precinct.
Transport for NSW liaised with other agencies to identify fuel pipeline corridors, that are ideally based in current road reserves, which service the Western Parkland City, the new international airport and surrounding precinct.
A dedicated fuel pipeline will help reduce trucks on local roads thereby easing congestion and help improve road safety.
Further work will determine the most effective and sustainable approach in delivering the pipeline, while minimising the impact of future construction on the community and the environment.
In 2023, Western Sydney Airport began a process to gather expressions of interest and proposals to develop and operate the pipeline by the industry.
We will continue to work with all stakeholders on the development of the Western Sydney Fuel Pipeline.
