Very well done. The grass ever so green gives a beautiful touch. Due to the enormous price tag building all this I think Sydney is doing very well. So glad of your coverage . For those who feel it could be better, give it time for the profits to start rolling in and the upgrades and improvements will follow. At the moment tax payers moneys is paying for this.
@@ronvorbach1464 Hi my friend! That's all right. Compliance with safety regulations. But! Our soil freezes to two meters, and in winter we have to heat concrete. But we are not standing still. You're warm, and that's a big plus.
Thanks Jay. Have you done any footage around Rosehill lately? I’d like to see that. I only get glimpses from the M4 on my way home most afternoons and I can’t work it out. I’ve driven through Wentworth st a few times but it’s even more confusing on the ground
Coming along nicely. Excellent update as usual JD. I noticed a comment below about an update on Rosehill area with all the Metro Maintenance yards. That would be a very interesting vid if you could put it on your list to do. All the best !
Guessing no control tower because modern airports are moving to a virtual control room with large screens connected to high-resolution cameras located around the airport.
There will always be a need for an actual tower where controllers can look out the windows in real time at actual aircraft. It doesn't take much to hack into the systems these days.
@@geoffreycoury1171 Nevertheless there are some in use. There is also significant resistance from.several angles, such as: (i) unwillingness of Controllers to move from locations where they are ensconced, (ii) economic effects on such locations due to loss of spending from Controllers and (iii) human factors safety effects of having Controllers rated for several towers and swapping often from one to another. Not so sure about the hacking. Manned towers tend to be highly connected with larger (e.g. en-route) ATC systems and airport services (radio, lighting, weather readings, etc.) are often highly digitised, so similar issues could arise. I've seen a Class D tower controller work locally from an airport vehicle radio for local control for a short period, but they were a bit limited in issuing airways clearances for, say, aircraft to enter adjacent airspace controlled by a distant centre. (n Australia there are only two such centres, in Brisbane and Melbourne, with the ability of each to run the whole country if needed.)
A correction to my previous comment about the airport tower. Apparently Airservices are seeking expressions of interest from existing air traffic controllers to work using a remote tower at WSI operated from a centre at Eastern Creek. That facility would essentially consist of them operating in a room with a depiction of the airspace projected onto the walls, and with the aircraft images tagged with their identifiers. I'd include the link to the EOI, but RUclips seems to delete the comment if that is included. So that might mean no traditional tower, but a set of cameras and other sensors feeding to the remote site. This could be a bit 'courageous' given issues that have arisen overseas with the still relatively immature technology.
London has 3 airports plus London City (too small to be considered much). Sydney is nearly as big as London was in 2007 or so, when I first went. Sydney definitely needs 2 airports.
@@williamcrossan9333 London actually has 6 airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City and Southend. Combined traffic pre covid was around 172 million. No match to Sydney's 45 million really, which can easily be handled by one proper airport WSI with room to grow.
Hopefully they'll catch up to Adelaide Airport and most airports around the globe and have a prayer room. We don't like to lay out the matt in public unnecessarily.
I'm guessing once it opens it's gonna take me an hour and 30 to get to and from work instead of 45 mins, fml. Cause that's what sydney needs, more traffic. They'll probably add fucking tolls to the road as well so it also costs you $40 a day for the pleasure of being stuck in traffic every day. Can't wait.. 👍
Seeing the airport & surrounding housing estates being carved out of farmland is one of the most depressing sights. In 10 years Sydney has lost 60% of our farmland to accommodate radically high levels of immigration.
Is it just me or is it that everything we do in Australia is piecemeal? Nobody has the fortitude or temerity to build an airport in it's entirety rather than drag out the process decades and build one runway, then another years later. The same goes with terminals. Build it all at once, over engineer the terminals size wise so that it's not running at capacity on day one like Brisbane International. How many freeways have we seen built in NSW with only 2 lanes and no breakdown lane in tunnels?? Before long duplicates or extra lanes are built at great expense. If done properly the public won't be inconvenienced continually. The Sydney Harbour Bridge has 8 lanes each way and 2 rail lines also - Dr Bradfield did it right almost 100 years ago yet these chumps today with all the technology in the world screw up the numbers. The airport looks great but will just be another long term screw up thanks to narrow minded business people, architects, public servants and politicians that seem to pervade this country.
Do you also complain about paying too much tax? Because to gold plate or over provide for an unnecessary facility, for a potential future, or use tax payers money to build what will become a private entity seems worse. This is a secondary airport, Nobody thinks it will become the main gateway into NSW/Sydney so should not be grandiose, at the expense of the taxpayer. Don't forget the terminal and runway is really a small portion of the total 'project' cost with rail and roads and other infrastructure to support this also costing the tax payer. Also don't forget a oversized facility, which is largely mothballed as there won't be need for its full capacity cost the users and owners more in operational expenditure, which is very unattractive to private operators, without a profitable operator, there is no airport service. I am sure the design and construction teams are working to a brief provided them. As much they might like to vary a project for the better good they are constrained by budgets, programmes, briefs and contracts. I Personally think any expansion, especially of terminal two, as opposed to extension of this terminal (which may have been safeguarded for) is well beyond 2030, time will tell how the Western Sydney communities adopt use of this facility. It's not narrow minded of most working on th eproject, its the commercial realities of this world.

Very detailed footage. Thanks for the update. Well done.
Thanks for watching!

Good call!
WOW! Since your last update things have certainly taken shape. Thanks for keeping us up to date :) DM.
A very large amount of work has been done, but there is still a lot to be done. Good luck to the builders
Praise to all the workers who and have toiled in all the extreme weathers nature has thrown their way.

Amazing vid once again, wow the building is looking so near complete! Everything is so lush and green there at the moment too!
Awsome update BJ thanks 👍
Great video buddy glad to see the new Western airport turned out sooo soon
Looking at an artist impression the Control tower appears to be going between both terminals near the Station.

Great vid. It doesn’t look all that big, how long until it will need expanding?
Although the Airport appears to be making good progress it seems the others like roads and rail have slowed or is it just my imagination ?
So much potential so much room to grow. Why keep KSA open? Is Sydney big enough to have two major airports?
I have read KSA is destined to close but not for a very long time yet.
London has 3 airports plus London City (too small to be considered much).
Sydney is nearly as big as London was in 2007 or so, when I first went.

Yeah I’m suprised they haven’t started the tower yet

No more Parramatta videos?
How do you know that they are gonna start construction on the other side by 2031?
I just Know
@@BigJayDogAdventures Severus Snape: you just know
Ah the original plan has it on the internet
Only if capacity hits 10 million plus passengers a year just look up other airports around Australia passenger movements

Interesting reading the comments- do people in Australia think critically about anything?
I heard , that KSA car parks return a billion dollar profit. That is only hear say so I don`t know if it is true but I imagine it be true.
I’d believe it
