The first sods have been turned on Western Sydney University’s newest vertical city campus in the Bankstown CBD, triggering the creation of hundreds of new jobs and boosting the economy of South West Sydney.
The University has partnered with Walker Corporation to deliver its $340 million Bankstown City campus, which is expected to create 675 direct and indirect jobs during construction.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney, The Hon Stuart Ayres MP, was present for the ceremonial ground breaking for the campus, which will have capacity for up to 10,000 students and 1,000 staff when it opens in the second half of 2022.
