Holcim Australia has reached a significant milestone by breaking new ground on the new high-capacity plant at Badgerys Creek.  

The new plant will help support the development of Western Sydney’s Aerotropolis and the future Bradfield City Centre. Holcim Australia will produce low-carbon concrete at the plant to support these New South Wales projects.   

Holcim executive general manager for ready-mix concrete and major projects Greg Price said the Badgerys Creek facility will expand Holcim’s extensive Greater Sydney network. 

“There’s enormous momentum building across the Aerotropolis, and this plant allows us to respond with scale and speed,” he said.  

“We’ve positioned ourselves exactly where our customers need us, right in the middle of Western Sydney’s next chapter. It gives us the operational strength to support projects of any size, right across the Western Sydney growth corridor.”

Since construction began in May 2025, the high-capacity plant is expected to be operational by mid-2026.  

Holcim’s newest plant will have the capacity to produce up to 1,000 cubic metres of concrete per day. It has been built with the capability to facilitate future growth for future residential, commercial and industrial developments.  

“Producing our ECOPact low-carbon concrete at Badgerys Creek helps accelerate more sustainable construction across the region,” Price said.  

“It’s a step forward in how we support major projects — not just with volume, but with materials that reduce environmental impact.”
