With your amount of whinging, I'm questioning your age.

THE Western Sydney Stadium at Parramatta is a step closer, with the State Government calling for expressions of interest from the private sector to design and construct the project.

The 30,000-seat rectangular venue will be built on the site of Pirtek Stadium.

The new stadium would be the first project delivered under the government’s stadia strategy and would replace a 30-year-old facility with a “world-class venue”, Sport Minister Stuart Ayres said.



He said one of the requirements for applicants would be to have experience in designing a stadium, along with meeting a range of important financial and technical requirements.

“Sport is a significant contributor to the western Sydney economy and this investment will boost the region’s capacity to attract major events as well as create and support thousands of local jobs,” Mr Ayres said.
Infrastructure Minister Andrew Constance said the project would be assessed as a state significant development, with stage one including demolition and masterplan work and stage two the design and construction.

An environmental-impact statement for stage one approval will be released in the coming months.

“The plans will incorporate the latest international design and technology standards to ensure it can meet the needs of multiple sporting codes and teams and deliver the best outcomes for the community,” Mr Constance said.

The stadium is scheduled to open in 2019.

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I think those 2 pictures were thrown around years ago as a possible upgrade to Pirtek, not a complete knock down, rebuild.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

300 million and we cant cover nth and sth seats... give me a break...

that design would cost 120M max

 

[roughyedspud]

$300m for that?? Jesuschrist!

Ive never seen those designs before but I do recall someone mentioning possibly increase capacity to 23,000. More seats behind the terraces.

But if theyre talking of 30,000, those pics don't look like a stadium of that capacity.

 

[Perth Red]

yeh those were upgrade designs not a new build. Don't think there has been any artists renders yet.

From what the article says, the State Government is only now calling for "expressions of interest from the private sector to design and construct the project". So what is the point of putting pictures of a designed stadium, if no submissions have been made by the builders???

 

[Perth Red]

sometimes they will do a preliminary artists impression to get people excited but the final stadium rarely ends up looking like it.

Isn't work supposed to start this year? Why are they calling for expressions on interest to design it now?

 

[Suitman]

My f**king god some people are dumb.

The new stadium HASN'T been designed yet.
Those pictures were artists impressions of the smaller upgrade announced 2 years ago.
What a surprise that the Telecrap put those pics into the article. Dickwads.

The new stadium will look nothing like those pictures. It will be fully roofed for a start

Be patient people. Demolition is due to start at the end of the NRL season and construction will begin early 2017.
We should she what the new stadium will look like by about Oct/Nov.

That design is a few years old.

The new one shouldnt be anything like it...

Its a f*cking gossip rag, what kind of standards do you expect.....

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

For a design wizz around here, does anyone feel like mocking up a stadium with a bit more of a stylised look??

AAMI does well with the "Storm Cloud" look. Id love to see something that brings in some Western Sydney culture....

A stadium that looks like a pack of Winnie Reds would be a bit of a turn off.

Will an Australian stadium finally get a roof with a drip line that keeps everyone dry? If they achieve that it will be a big step forward for stadium design in this country!
