The Western Sydney Airport, also known as Badgerys Creek Airport is a designated site for the second Sydney airport, located within the suburb of . The site was officially designated by the Federal Government on 15 April 2014, after decades of debate on location of the airport. The site of the proposed airport is situated west of the Sydney CBD and west of the Kingsford Smith Airport. The site is within the City of Liverpool local government area and consists of approximately of Commonwealth land that was acquired between 1986 and 1991.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/airport/western_sydney/index.aspx )〕 The Federal Government claims the initial construction phase is expected to generate around 4,000 jobs, the airport development is expected to create 35,000 jobs by 2035, increasing to 60,000 jobs over time.〔 == Initial development == The site at Badgerys Creek was chosen because: * it was considered the preferred site by successive studies including an environmental impact statement that was completed in 1999;〔 * the Government continues ownership of the land which is sufficient for the initial airport development; * the site is protected by long-term planning and zoning restrictions; and * the New South Wales Government proposed to expand the Western Sydney Employment Area (WSEA) which would see the airport abutted by land zoned for industry and commerce. It is planned that the airport will be built in phases. The initial construction phase would see a smaller airport with a single runway. The cost of the initial development has been estimated at 2.4 billion (as at 2012) and to generate 4,000 jobs. The government plans the initial phase would be complete and operational by 2025.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/airport/western_sydney/index.aspx )〕 Sydney Airport Corporation, the operator of Sydney Airport, was given the right of first refusal to build and operate any second airport in an agreement reached with the Government when Sydney Airport was sold in 2002. It is believed the initial phase, with only one runway, would be favourable for budget airlines and airlines offering point to point travel. The airport will not have a night time curfew.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Sydney Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
