A new Penrith stadium will be built as part of the government’s Western Sydney infrastructure​

Only months after winning the premiership, it can be revealed that the Penrith Panthers will soon have a brand new stadium to play on.



Penrith Stadium will be knocked down and rebuilt to create a world-class sporting and cultural destination, as part of the state government’s suburban stadium masterplan.
The boutique stadium in Western Sydney is set to have a capacity of between 25,000 and 30,000 people, and will come at an estimated cost of around $300 million.
No time-frame has yet been set for when the first Steeden will be kicked at the ground – the full redevelopment will go through a competitive design and construction tender.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said it made sense to invest in infrastructure for Western Sydney, in line with his “six cities” vision announced at The Daily Telegraph’s Bradfield Oration last week.

The stadiums strategy has identified Greater Penrith to Eastern Creek as a key growth corridor for the region, emphasising the importance of a revitalised Penrith Stadium.
“We are sending a clear message to Australia and the rest of the world that Western Sydney is a cultural capital in its own right,” Mr Perrottet told The Telegraph.
“You have Moore Park in the eastern city, Parramatta in the central city and then Penrith in the Western Parkland city,” he said
“As Western Sydney grows, this stadium will have greater use and prominence. It will stand tall in Western Sydney for everyone.”
The current stadium in Penrith is more than 40 years old, and, according to Mr Perrottet, “in need of repairs”.

Recently fans packed the stadium to see Penrith coach Ivan Cleary and captain Nathan Cleary celebrate winning the Grand Final. Picture: Tim Hunter.
A revamped Penrith Stadium is one of a number of boutique stadiums which had been under consideration since last year, after the government abandoned plans to spend $820 million upgrading ANZ stadium.
The government is continuing to examine options for other boutique stadiums – potentially Kogarah and Brookvale – but no commitments have been made.





Money to fund business cases for new suburban stadiums was first committed in the 2020 budget, with a further investment included in Mr Perrottet’s last budget in June.

Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V’landys has previously insisted that the $820 million saved by abandoning the ANZ plans should be spent on building smaller, boutique stadiums around Sydney.

Mr V’Landys yesterday commended Mr Perrottet for investing in a new Penrith stadium.

“I think this is the best news ever for Penrith – they’re going to have a world class stadium which young kids will aspire to play at,” he said.

He said the upgraded stadium “will keep the money in the local economy, and there’ll be so many other sports and community events which can be held at that ground”.

“Whatever the government spends on it, they’ll get a multiplier of three or four.”

Bradfield’s ambition should be our guiding light‘It’s time for Sydney to enjoy the roaring 2020s’
Jobs Minister and Local MP Stuart Ayres said fans will “flock” to the “state of the art temple of sport”. “It is much more than just a football ground,” Mr Ayres said.

Sports Minister Natalie Ward said the new stadium will be a “world-class” venue for “world-class sporting events”.

So the current government will rely on a future government to fund and pay for their promises. I.e. No time frame has been set for when it is built - they are only going through the design process. Don't hold your breath...

@BxTom ..... breath not held
Btw dont put in your lotto numbers today...

 

[herbert henry1908]

I had a strong feeling this would happen, the Penrith electorate is pretty important to the government’s re-election.

if it’s $300m it’s very likely going to be a 25,000 seat stadium, which I think is the perfect size.

 

[Pantherjim.]

I guess that’s a massive electoral carrot from the Libs.

Trying to ensure that “Howard’s Battlers” will continue to vote LNP State and Federally whilst their kids are still taught in demountables without air conditioning and Nepean Hospital doesn’t yet have a decent ICU, doesn’t do bypass surgery and has no palliative care unit.

Ah, priorities……

 

[murraymob]

Who cares why we are getting it .we are getting it.the one area that has held us back for decades has been corporate boxes.we can now match anyone and with our juniors.we should be top 8 every year

Sorry but the ICU isn’t to bad, 4 years ago I spent a day in the ICU on spinal watch when I fractured my L1 vertebrae in my lower back, I then spent a further 10 days in a ward on spinal watch, I couldn’t of received better care, my treatment was great and the wonderful nurses who looked after me I couldn’t praise high enough

Airport, yes, still 20 mins away from penrith, but yeah i see your point, pop keep building and spreading west as sydney is doing over the next decade and the stadium will be the current WSS (wankfest) in pawwa

Yet if you need coronary artery bypass surgery you get sent off to Westmead public and my Mother had to be palliated for her brain tumour in a Nursing home because there currently is no palliative care unit. I’ve previously worked for Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District as a Registered Nurse, not to mention was raised in the local area since it was a blue ribbon ALP seat with Ross Free as the sitting MP

I’m not against the stadium revamp, but the club should be footing the bill for it, not the tax payers.

No club has $300m, so we’d never see decent stadiums if they had to pay. But I would like to see the the club contribute, even if it’s only $10m like the cowboys did.

The Hospital is huge now. Getting more extensions too

For me depends how many extra events it brings in

 

[WestyLife]

Good it needs it. Schools and hospitals will be fine.
