As a brissy boy, I am not completely in the know about Sydney's airport but my short experiences there are that its way too crowded.
However, is there certain reasoning behind having this second airport so far out? Is there any rules on international airports being too close to each other? What about other locations for the airport. I'm thinking most of sydneys population on the whole live west of the CBD so maybe thats why its going west. I'm wondering if the new airport will become kind of like OOL whereby cheaper international flights will go there. Eg. your Scoots, AirAsia, HongKong Airlines etc.
I definitely think some sort of transportation upgrade will be needed to get there. I read everyones comments about train and it could work similar to heathrow express perhaps??
What's everyones best case scenario for this airport in terms of the following:
1. Type of Airport for it to become (eg. budget like a London City airport vs. normal airport like Kingsford smith)
2. Transportation to/from (eg. train and what type of train, high speed vs standard all stops train; maybe taxis or UBER to set up a standard fare if within 20km/40km/60km of airport??
3. Benefits of the airport itself (eg. ease congestion around kingsford smith, make airfares more competitive in pricing, more range of flights?)
