This redevelopment will create a modern, family-friendly venue that brings the fans closer to the action while supporting the continued growth of sport, entertainment and major events in our region.”

Penrith’s new crown jewel forms part of the Minns (Chris Minns, Premier of New South Wales) Labor Government’s historic multibillion-dollar investment in Sydney’s Western suburbs.
