With veterinary and agricultural facilities in Camden and Cobbitty, we already have a deep and long-standing connection to the region.
The University’s vision for the Western Parkland City is to create innovative partnerships at the new airport and develop the curriculum to help close the skills gap and develop a future talent pipeline.
We are looking at long-term academic opportunities and industry co-investment in the Aerotropolis to support the creation of 200,000 high-tech jobs in advanced manufacturing, defence, logistics, agribusiness, health and education. The University will continue to work with government and industry to pursue academic and development opportunities around these themes.

Opening in 2027, Sydney Conservatorium of Music Parramatta brings world‑class contemporary music education to the heart of Western Sydney (Parramatta). Designed and built for 21st‑century music technologies - and the first of its kind in an Australian tertiary setting - it’s for students ready to experiment, collaborate, and push their musical training to new limits.
The University has been in Westmead since 1978 and has invested over $100M into the precinct, now a global centre of multidisciplinary innovation.
In December 2020, the NSW Government and the University announced a new partnership agreement known as the Cumberland Precinct Framework Deed, ensuring the University supports the Government’s early activities to progress land availability for an expanded University presence at Parramatta/Westmead.
