Infrastructure NSW with delivery partner John Holland will start work on the new grandstands, including bulk earthworks and foundation piling.
The redevelopment of Penrith Stadium will generate around 500 jobs during construction and over 650 jobs will be supported once operational.
A growing list of Western Sydney-based subcontractors have already been engaged, including First Nations-owned Doolan Plumbing, Stowe Australia, Performance Access Resources, Borgers, New Edge Group, Cherrie Civil, Western Precast, and Wagstaff Piling with more to come.
These partnerships help local small and medium enterprises grow their profiles and gain valuable experience on a complex, state-significant project that will be celebrated by locals and visitors for decades to come.
The project will reflect the stadium’s unique identity and strong ties to the community, while delivering modern upgrades in seating, sightlines, technology and security.
Once complete, the stadium will be home to the Penrith Panthers, and will host concerts and other major sporting events, providing a significant boost to local hospitality, retail and tourism sectors.
