UniSuper and IFM Investors industrial and logistics estate, Burrah Park secures development approval supporting Western Sydney’s growth and delivering for super fund members

The NSW Government has granted development approval for the Burrah Park Industrial Estate (Burrah Park) as a State Significant Development, paving the way for a major new industrial and logistics precinct in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Jointly owned by UniSuper and IFM Investors, Burrah Park will deliver a super prime, large-scale industrial and logistics estate located immediately adjacent to the entrance to the new Western Sydney International Airport and nearby to Bradfield City Centre. Designed to support Australia’s future freight and logistics needs, the estate is positioned to contribute to the long-term economic development of Western Sydney.

The development spans approximately 280 hectares and will be delivered in stages, ultimately providing significant industrial capacity in one of Australia’s fastest-growing economic regions. It is strategically located with direct access to major transport networks including the M12 motorway, Western Sydney International Airport Cargo Precinct and future rail connections.

The precinct will play a critical role in supporting efficient supply chains and improving connectivity across the region, supporting jobs and the industries needed to service Western Sydney International Airport and the surrounding region.

Burrah Park will be designed with a strong focus on sustainability and long-term resilience, targeting 5-Star Green Star building outcomes and a 6-Star Green Star Communities rating.

HB+B Property and IFM are jointly appointed as development managers for Burrah Park and are responsible for overseeing the planning, leasing and development of the project.

Richmond Bridge will act in a trustee management role on behalf of the joint owners, overseeing the long-term stewardship of the investment.
