Our Purpose, Vision and Values

Purpose

To generate social and economic prosperity by working together to safely deliver a thriving airport precinct in Western Sydney

WSA is a purpose-led organisation, meaning the Company’s activities are directed at developing and operating Western Sydney International. This, in turn, will generate social and economic prosperity for Western Sydney by improving access to aviation services, resolving Sydney’s

long-term aviation capacity issues, integrating with initiatives in the area, and operating on commercially sound principles to maximise the Airport as a national asset. Ultimately, the Airport will be a major catalyst for growth and development in the region.
