Bradfield City’s flagship Central Park is a step closer, with FDC Construction & Fitout appointed to deliver the two-hectare public space above the new metro station.
Positioned above the Bradfield Metro Station, Central Park will serve as the city’s primary arrival point, providing residents, visitors and businesses with a major green space at the heart of Australia’s first new city in 100 years.
FDC will lead the delivery of the park’s key infrastructure, including the Sky Ring, Woven Play and Interwoven Heart play areas, and the multi-use Gathering Green, which will accommodate up to five thousand people. Works will also include amenities, decks, pathways, lighting and landscaped boulevards.
More than 550 mature trees and over 55,000 native shrubs, grasses and groundcovers, representing more than 84 shrub species, will be planted. Public art co-designed by Dharug artists will be integrated throughout the park.
Designed by ASPECT Studios, Central Park will incorporate innovative technology to support long-term maintenance, improve user experience and adapt to a changing climate as the city grows.
Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with the park scheduled to open alongside the Bradfield Metro Station.
Bradfield Development Authority Chief Executive Officer, Ken Morrison, said the project would create a central meeting place for the new city.
“Central Park will become the heart of Bradfield City, a place for families, workers and visitors to meet, play and enjoy the outdoors,” Morrison said.
“Appointing FDC as head contractor brings us another step closer to creating a world-class public space that reflects the identity and aspirations of this new city.”
FDC Managing Director, Russell Grady, said the project represented a major opportunity for Western Sydney.
“Central Park will set the tone for Bradfield City with a vibrant, considered public realm,” Grady said.
“FDC is proud to partner with the Bradfield Development Authority to deliver a nature-rich space that honours Country while creating local jobs, skills and apprenticeship pathways.”
