Single-runway airport:   Parallel-runway International airport:  In 2013 Bob Meyer, planner at Cox Richardson Architects, presented a report that said only 2,913 homes would be moderately impacted by aircraft noise if Badgerys Creek International Airport goes ahead. Most of the land surrounding the 17,000 hectare airport site is slated for industrial development, not residential, as part of the Western Sydney Employment Area. In February 2013 an alliance of Western Sydney councils (WSROC) reversed their position against an airport at Badgerys Creek, with a majority of members now supporting the site, citing economic value to the area. The Gillard Government further made clear it supported a second airport located in Sydney, but was awaiting a report due in March regarding the feasibility of their preferred Wilton location. While in Opposition, the Abbott-led Coalition did not commit to a position on that matter, but prominent shadow ministers, including Joe Hockey, voiced their support for an airport at Badgerys Creek. The NSW Government has remained firm in its opposition to any Sydney location, favouring spending infrastructure dollars on a high-speed rail link to Canberra. The Sydney Airport Corporation continues to claim Kingsford-Smith has sufficient capacity. In October 2013 "The Daily Telegraph" newspaper reported that Treasurer Joe Hockey had nominated a second Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek as one of the key infrastructure projects needed to stimulate the slowing Australian economy. The newspaper had earlier that month quoted Infrastructure Minister Warren Truss saying that "Badgerys Creek was chosen as the best site decades ago and is government-owned." In response to this news, "The Sydney Morning Herald" and "The Daily Telegraph" both reported that Qantas supported the proposal for establishing a curfew-free airport at Badgerys Creek, with Qantas, Jetstar and Qatar Airways saying they would use a Badgerys Creek airport for commercial flights. In March 2014, the Sydney Morning Herald published a poll showing a 72% of NSW voters wanted an airport at Badgerys Creek. On 15 April 2014, the Federal Government announced that Badgerys Creek will be the site of the Second Sydney Airport. (See Western Sydney Airport). After the confirmation of Badgerys Creek as the site for Sydney's Second Airport, some Western Sydney residents and local politicians started voicing their opposition to a 24-hour airport. The reaction of most residents in the local area is more towards negative on the subject of the airport in their area. In response, the Federal Government has focused on new jobs and new infrastructure investments including:  The new airport was first proposed as a cargo only facility.
