Property Council Western Sydney Regional Director Ross Grove said while the plan provides more information on infrastructure sequencing, the need for a larger program of works was critical to the Aerotropolis reaching its potential.
"This plan is the government's first answer to the question of 'what is happening and when' - it is specific and measurable - and is the fruit of the government's decisive restructure of governance and responsibilities in the Aerotropolis from last year," Mr Grove said.
"It is no easy task translating the tangle of road, water and rail commitments made over the last twelve to eighteen months into a program which is manageable, and which minimises disruption to other construction projects in the area. On this front, the Sector Plan gets a big tick," he said.
Mr Grove said that while the plan responded well to the work already funded, there was more to do to unlock pressing infrastructure needs.
"Luddenham Road needs to be brought forward and be backed-in with a funding decision to bump it up the priority list - it's currently a semi-rural council road, with no kerb and guttering despite one of the three key north-south roads carrying traffic north of the new airport.
"As the Sydney Science Park and Burra Park developments progress, this road will need more forethought. Luddenham Road needs to be designated as a state road, with funding for initial planning work to draw up what it needs to become in the future.
"It won't happen overnight, but we need to start getting the planning and paperwork together to justify the funding and delivery of what will become a major north-south thoroughfare in the precinct's future," he said.
Mr Grove said the Property Council would work with the NSW Government on the critical next steps for the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
"Today's announcement is a positive step forward and builds on a positive track record of fixing the governance mess, securing joint funding for Mamre Road and Elizabeth Drive, and progressing the planning and upgrade of Badgerys Creek Road South.
"The Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis is the biggest infrastructure move in the country. It is a mammoth task with mammoth dividends for national productivity, connecting the region to the rest of the world and providing jobs closer to where people live.
"Western Sydney is where the future jobs and homes will be, and we need government and industry working together to make it happen," Mr Grove said.
