Proposed new suburb named Wianamatta

Overview

What’s this about?

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal to create a new suburb named Wianamatta for the site encompassing the Western Sydney International Airport.

The proposed name Wianamatta is an Aboriginal word meaning 'Mother Place'. 'Wiana' meaning mother and 'Matta' meaning place. 

Establishing the new suburb allows the airport site to be located within a single suburb, improving service delivery and public wayfinding. The proposed suburb is bounded by Elizabeth Drive, The Northern Road and the Badgerys Creek Environmental Conservation Zone, with the recently created suburb of Bradfield to its south. 

The new suburb will see amendments to the suburb boundaries of Badgerys Creek, Bringelly, Luddenham and Greendale.

The GNB is the authority for place naming in NSW. GNB is seeking feedback to gauge community sentiment for the proposed name and suggestions for alternative names are not being sought currently.
