NSW Government calls for community input on Penrith Stadium redevelopment

April 10, 2022

The NSW Government has called for community input into its planned new Penrith Stadium, with interested parties able to provide feedback through a new digital survey.

Advising that the NSW Government will redevelop Penrith Stadium as part of its commitment to improve sport and visitor economy infrastructure, NSW Minister for Tourism and Sport, Stuart Ayres stated “the feedback from the local community is extremely important to us

“Our vision is for the facility to be a major event venue to support the growing population in Western Sydney and cater to sports, entertainment and tourism.

“With a new international airport and metro rail line on the way in the Western Parkland City, now is exactly the right time to be investing in visitor economy assets in centres like Penrith.

Minister Ayres said through the Have Your Say digital survey, the NSW Government wants the local community to think about other stadiums not just in Australia but around the world and discuss the features they might like to see at Penrith.

“We’d like to understand what you consider is a world class stadium experience, what stadium facilities are important to you and what you would like us to consider in redeveloping the wider stadium precinct in Penrith.

“It might be ideas about technology and LED signage, external lighting, conference rooms, anything you feel will enhance the new stadium experience for events and a precinct fit for business and community activity.”
