Holcim Breaks Ground on New Plant to Produce Low-Carbon Concrete at Sydney’s new Aerotropolis
Holcim Australia has commenced construction on a new high-capacity plant at Badgerys Creek to produce its low-carbon ECOPact concrete. The strategically located facility is designed to support the fast-moving development of Western Sydney’s Aerotropolis and the future Bradfield City Centre.
Located 1.5 kilometres from Western Sydney Airport and 2.5 kilometres from Bradfield, the plant places Holcim at the heart of one of Australia’s most ambitious infrastructure and urban development zones — enabling direct supply to key construction sites with minimal transport time or disruption.
Construction began in May 2025, with the plant expected to be complete and operational by mid 2026.
“There’s enormous momentum building across the Aerotropolis, and this plant allows us to respond with scale and speed.”
We’ve positioned ourselves exactly where our customers need us, right in the middle of Western Sydney’s next chapter. It gives us the operational strength to support projects of any size, right across the Western Sydney growth corridor,” said Greg Price.
The facility will produce Holcim’s low-carbon ECOPact concrete range, supporting more sustainable construction across the region. The plant has been designed with future growth in mind, allowing flexibility to meet evolving project needs.
With the capacity to deliver up to 1,000 cubic metres of concrete per day, the Badgerys Creek plant is expected to be one of the most productive in the region — a key advantage as the scale and complexity of local construction ramps up.

“Producing our ECOPact low-carbon concrete at Badgerys Creek helps accelerate more sustainable construction across the region,” Price added. “It’s a step forward in how we support major projects — not just with volume, but with materials that reduce environmental impact.”
Once operational, the Badgerys Creek facility will expand Holcim’s extensive Greater Sydney network, strengthening its capacity to supply the residential, commercial and industrial developments which will power Western Sydney’s future growth.
The Western Sydney Airport Precinct, encompassing the forthcoming Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport and the expansive Aerotropolis, stands as one of Australia’s most transformative infrastructure and urban development initiatives. Strategically located in the Western Parkland City, this 11,200-hectare area is poised to become a dynamic economic hub, integrating advanced industries, sustainable urban planning, and cutting-edge transport networks.
