The redevelopment of Penrith Stadium marks a major transformation for Western Sydney, strengthening its proud history as a home for sport while supporting the region’s growing population.

The upgraded stadium and precinct will create a more welcoming destination with expanded food and beverage options, improved amenities, better connectivity and enhanced public spaces. Open landscaped areas and shared facilities will encourage people to visit, gather and enjoy the precinct year-round.

The $309 million project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

Aurecon is providing structural and civil engineering services for the redevelopment, supporting the project from early planning through to construction. Working alongside Infrastructure NSW, John Holland Group and Populous, our team is helping deliver a stadium and precinct designed for long-term community benefit.

Penrith Stadium’s redevelopment is designed to reflect Penrith’s identity and respect the stadium’s local significance.

The project will cater for the increasing demand for the NRL and NRLW matches, attract more visitors to Western Sydney and support local jobs during construction and operation. It will also create a family-friendly venue that supports more sport, concerts, conferences and other community uses.

The project is expected to support around 500 jobs during construction and a further 650 jobs once operational.

  • 150 extra wheelchair accessible seats and 15 universal accessible toilets
  • New scoreboards, ribbon boards, sound and lighting systems
  • Improved player facilities for men and women, including four changerooms and two recovery pools
  • New secure turnstiles to improve security and flow in and out of events
  • Reconfigured warm-up field and community-accessible public spaces
  • Enhanced media facilities including a camera deck, officials, radio and commentary boxes, plus expanded press, operations and production areas
  • Corporate suites and function spaces, with facilities to support year-round events and functions, including kitchen and back-of-house amenities

Reimagining a match-day stadium with early planning

Building on our role as structural and civil engineer, Aurecon supported key early project phases, including the final business case and scoping study, planning approvals, engineering briefs, sustainability advice, tender documentation and contractor support. This provided a strong technical foundation and helped maintain continuity as the project moved from planning into procurement and delivery.

A quality venue that strengthens Penrith’s sporting and cultural character

When complete, Penrith Stadium will be a family-friendly venue that respects the stadium’s history and importance to Penrith. By preserving the north and south hills, improving public spaces and supporting different modes of use, the stadium will help maintain the local character that makes the venue important to fans and the community. It will also support the growth of men’s and women’s sport, create new jobs, attract more visitors, and provide a stronger social and entertainment destination for Western Sydney.

The stadium is expected to be ready for operations in 2027 and will be known as Helloworld Stadium.
