2.3. DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
A number of major infrastructure projects have recently
been completed, are underway or proposed, which may
help to grow the visitor economy in Camden (See Figure 4).
Upon delivery, these projects will unlock a number of key
opportunities for Camden’s visitor economy:
Interstate and International Visitors Market Growth:
It is estimated the new WSIA will carry a capacity of ten
million domestic and international passengers per
annum once operational in 2026. This will provide
opportunities for Camden to attract new visitor markets
travelling to the surrounding region.
Improved Connectivity and Faster Access: Road
improvements will signi昀椀cantly enhance connectivity
between Camden and the future Brad昀椀eld City Centre,
WSIA and Aerotropolis. This will increase the visitor
catchment within driving distance of Camden.
Industry Development and Expertise: The proposed
agribusiness precinct in the Aerotropolis provides
opportunities to leverage supply chains into local
businesses, bring fresh produce and food product into
Camden LGA, and explore agritourism opportunities in
conjunction with the precinct.
Diversi昀椀ed Visitor Markets: New o昀昀erings and services
delivered through major developments such as the
Gregory Hills Corporate Park can attract new tourism
segments, including wellness and medical visitors.
While these enabling infrastructure projects present
signi昀椀cant strategic advantages for Camden, further
work is required at the local level to capitalise on these
opportunities and grow the visitor economy in a
competitive and sustainable way.
