The first stage of the $341 million Aspect Industrial Estate at Kemps Creek has been approved by the NSW Government, which will result in the creation of hundreds of new industrial and logistical jobs in the area.

Stuart Ayres, Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade and Minister for Western Sydney, feels that the Mirvac development's location, which is adjacent to Western Sydney Airport and significant road networks, will appeal to industrial companies.

“This is a major win for Western Sydney, which marks the start of a wave of new jobs in logistics, manufacturing and construction ahead of the new airport opening in 2026,” he says.

“Today’s approval enables construction to begin on the first stage of the industrial estate, involving two buildings for warehousing and industrial uses, car parking and cafe.

“Around 130 construction jobs will be created and a further 387 operational jobs once the buildings are up and running next year.”

According to Minister for Planning Anthony Roberts, the site's approval last week included approval of the full concept plan.

“A further nine buildings are being proposed but they will be required to be rigorously assessed separately, before each stage can progress,” he says.

“If all stages of the project are approved, more than 1,700 jobs will be created in total, which are closer to home for Western Sydney residents.”

Tanya Davies, Member for Mulgoa, was pleased to learn of the approval.

“As more projects like this one take off, we’ll see more investment in warehousing and logistics, aerospace and defence, manufacturing, healthcare, agribusiness, education and research industries.”

The proposed development seeks approval for the entire site's earthworks, infrastructure, and roads, as well as the staged construction of warehouse and logistics facilities with related vehicle parking on 11 developable lots.
