The NSW Government will redevelop Penrith Stadium as part of its commitment to turn suburban venues into world class facilities.
\nWork on the stadium will begin at the start of 2023 and is expected to take two years.
\nPremier Dominic Perrottet said the announcement and confirmation of construction would give Western Sydney an outstanding landmark venue, befitting of Australia\u2019s only global city.
\n\u201cThe Eastern City is getting a world class stadium, the Central City has world class stadia and now the Western City will have a world class stadium,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cPenrith Stadium is a hub for Western Sydney – it\u2019s where sporting success is celebrated, where families come together, and where our next generation of sporting superstars train.
\n\u201cBut this upgrade is about much more than sport, it is about bringing suburban venues to the fore and taking major events across the state.\u201d
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the investment would help carry Western Sydney into the future.
\n\u201cThis new venue will help take Penrith to the next level in sport, entertainment and tourism,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cWith a new international airport and metro rail line on the way in the Western Parkland City, now is exactly the right time to be investing in visitor economy assets in centres like Penrith.
\n\u201cWhile this venue will be home to the current NRL Premiers the Penrith Panthers, it is about so much more than rugby league. This stadium will be a new major event venue for our growing population in Western Sydney.\u201d
\nMinister for Sport Natalie Ward said the upgrade would ensure Sydney and NSW were well placed to host major events in years to come.
\n\u201cWe already have Sydney locked in as a host city for the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, and now with Penrith Stadium set to become a first-class venue, the sky is the limit when it comes to events NSW can bid for,\u201d Mrs Ward said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
