Work begins on $309 million Penrith Stadium redevelopment

The NSW Government has begun construction on the $309 million redevelopment of Penrith Stadium with the project led by John Holland Group. The State Government has worked with award-winning architects Populous and Tyrrell Studio to ensure Penrith Stadium will be one of Australia's premium suburban stadiums.

Selected after a competitive tender process, John Holland has extensive experience delivering large and complex construction projects, and the NSW Government is confident they will deliver an excellent outcome for Western Sydney.

The precinct will transform into a into a modern venue for sport, recreation and entertainment, including world-class concerts and events - once completed, the multipurpose venue will be able to host up to 10 concerts each year, with a concert capacity for up to 30,000 attendees.

The stadium will also be available for private events such as meetings, conferences, and catered functions.

Penrith Stadium is home to the Penrith Panthers and the redevelopment will see the NRL team play their home games at CommBank Stadium until the project is finished in 2027, leaving the club to share turf with rivals the Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers for the next two years.

The multipurpose venue is set to attract new sporting events to Penrith while continuing to support the growth of rugby league, union and football in Western Sydney.

The training field adjacent to the stadium will also be remodelled to create quality open community spaces with multipurpose courts, child-friendly areas and improved landscaping.

NSW Premier Chris Minns enthused "we are thrilled to see work begin on the redevelopment of Penrith Stadium as we bring to life our vision for a modern stadium and entertainment precinct that will serve as a major Western Sydney attraction for years to come.

"With a new stadium and community facilities, the stadium will have fans cheering on better views, seating and amenity as they cheer on their favourite teams.

"What's more, this precinct won't just be for sports fans but for the whole community, with year-round access to public facilities including the playing field and multipurpose courts."

The project is expected to be ready for operations in 2027. To find out more, visit the Penrith Stadium website.
