Expressions of Interest invited for partner to transform Penrith Stadium

Following the release in January of its draft plans for Penrith Stadium, the NSW Government has today opened Expressions of Interest for a partner to help transform Penrith Stadium into a major sporting and entertainment precinct for Sydney’s west.

As part of the upgrade the ground capacity will be increased to around 25,000 and the grandstands re-designed to be steeper, so fans are as close to the action as possible and have better sightlines to the field or stage.

The ultimate aim of the upgrade is to improve the family and fan experience year-round.

Penrith Stadium is proposed to become a superior venue for different forms of entertainment, significantly improving the experience for spectators, with more food outlets and amenities, new scoreboards and ribbon boards, sound systems, upgraded lighting and more recreation space.

Additionally, the training field to the west of the stadium will be remodelled to create new quality open spaces with multipurpose courts and improved landscaping for further outdoor community use and entertainment events.

The redeveloped stadium will not only continue to cater for men’s NRL matches, but it will also benefit the women’s competition and support the growth of female representation in rugby league and other sports, with new player facilities and changerooms.

The community has been actively involved in shaping the future of Penrith Stadium. The community will be invited to make a submission on the designs for the stadium when the State Significant Development Application is placed on public exhibition in the coming weeks.

The stadium will be operated by Venues NSW once completed.
