About Badgerys Creek

Badgerys Creek is a locality in Western Sydney, New South Wales, situated approximately 41 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD within the local government area of the City of Liverpool. With a current population of 168 residents across around 27 square kilometres, it remains a sparsely populated semi-rural area — but this is set to change dramatically. Badgerys Creek is the site of Western Sydney International (Nancy Bird Walton) Airport, currently under construction and expected to be one of Australia's largest infrastructure projects upon completion.

The suburb is also known as the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, and large-scale development of surrounding employment lands, industrial precincts, and residential communities is underway across the broader precinct. Adjacent to Kemps Creek and Austral, the area is rapidly transforming from a quiet farming locality into a major economic hub for Greater Western Sydney. For investors, developers, and those watching the growth corridor, Badgerys Creek represents one of the most significant urban transformation stories in Australian history. Current residents enjoy rural quietude, but significant change is on the horizon.

Badgerys Creek falls under postcode 2555 and is governed by the Liverpool Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Werriwa, while state elections fall under the Badgerys Creek electorate.
