The project, led by John Holland Group, is expected to generate around 500 jobs during construction and a further 650 jobs during operation delivering significant benefits for the Western Sydney economy.

This stadium redevelopment has been long awaited by the local community. After being promised by the former Government for more than 5 years, the Minns Labor Government has designed, acquired planning approval and begun construction within 2 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.

Beyond sporting events, the stadium will be able to host up to 10 concerts every year with a capacity of 30,000, and smaller spaces will be available for private events such as meetings, conferences, and catered functions.

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.

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