Penrith Stadium grandstands demolished allowing new construction to commence

Both grandstands at Penrith Stadium have now been demolished, paving the way for the venue’s transformation. The project will reflect the stadium’s identity and strong ties to the community, while delivering modern upgrades in seating, sightlines, technology and security.

Once complete, the stadium will be home to the Penrith Panthers, and will host concerts and other major sporting events, providing a significant boost to local hospitality, retail and tourism sectors.

Infrastructure NSW with delivery partner John Holland will start work on the new grandstands, including bulk earthworks and foundation piling. 

A growing list of Western Sydney-based subcontractors have already been engaged, including First Nations-owned Doolan Plumbing, Stowe Australia, Performance Access Resources, Borgers, New Edge Group, Cherrie Civil, Western Precast, and Wagstaff Piling with more to come. 

These partnerships are helping local small and medium enterprises grow their profiles and gain valuable experience on a complex, state-significant project that will be celebrated by locals and visitors for decades to come.

Panthers Group Chair Peter Graham enthused “It’s exciting for the club and our members and fans to see the progress being made at Penrith Stadium. 

“The new world-class stadium will be a game-changer for Penrith which will be enjoyed by Panthers fans for generations to come.  With demolition works now complete, it won’t be long until our first game back home.”

Jason Vaughn, General Manager Building NSW/ACT, John Holland Group added "we’re pleased to confirm the completion of the demolition phase, marking an important milestone in the transformation of Penrith Stadium. 

“At John Holland, we’re committed to delivering projects that not only enhance local facilities but also create meaningful opportunities for the community. 

“This project reflects that commitment, with a strong focus on supporting local employment and contributing to the growth of Western Sydney."
