Completed September 2020

During construction, it was important to have minimal impact on the ongoing operation of the airport. In order to minimise the impact on the day to day functions of the airport, the project was designed in two stages, Stage 1 being the infrastructure works and the taxiway re-alignments, and Stage 2 being the new office, hanger, aprons, carpark and landscaping works.

Taylor was awarded the ECI contract upfront and assisted the Client by producing the documentation to 50% prior to commencement on site. PolAir is the first of the Master Development Plan for the Bankstown Airport with other Major developments to be completed over the next 5 to 10 years.
