Region. 'We need our own airport'

The best chance for Western Sydney to reach its potential was Sydney’s second airport to be built at Badgerys Creek, according to Christopher Brown, chairman, of the Parramatta Economic Forum and a member of the Joint Federal/State Commission on Sydney’s aviation needs. “The future of the Australian economy is smart tertiary jobs in export-focused industries and if Western Sydney wants to share in that future then we need our own airport,” he said in The Daily Telegraph.
