FDC Construction & Fitout secures contract to deliver Central Park at Bradfield City

Bradfield Development Authority has appointed FDC Construction & Fitout as head contractor to deliver Central Park, a two-hectare public space set to anchor Bradfield City in New South Wales, Australia, Inside Construction reported.

Ken Morrison, CEO of Bradfield Development Authority, said FDC's appointment brings the project closer to fruition. "Central Park will become the heart of Bradfield City, a place for families, workers and visitors to meet, play and enjoy the outdoors," Morrison said. "We are proud to be working with outstanding partners to deliver a park that will serve the community for generations to come."

FDC will lead delivery of park infrastructure, including the signature Sky Ring, Woven Play and Interwoven Heart play areas, and the multi-use Gathering Green with space for up to 5,000 people. Works will include installation of amenities, decks, pathways, lighting and boulevards.

More than 550 mature trees and over 55,000 native shrubs, grasses and groundcovers representing more than 84 different shrub species will be planted, with public art co-designed by Dharug artists integrated throughout the park.

Russell Grady, managing director of FDC, said Bradfield City represents one of Australia's most exciting city building endeavours. "FDC is proud to partner with Bradfield Development Authority to deliver an innovative, nature-rich public space that honours Country and creates real local jobs, skills and apprenticeship pathways across Western Sydney," Grady said.

Designed by ASPECT Studios, Central Park will be supported by technology to care for users, adapting to a changing climate and a new, growing city. Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with the park set to open alongside the Bradfield Metro Station.
