NSW drivers take note: From May 1, average speed cameras on two major highways will begin targeting all vehicles, not just trucks.

A New Era for Western Sydney

This long-awaited transformation will turn the existing stadium into a modern, multi-use venue capable of hosting a variety of sporting, entertainment and community events. With a seating capacity of 30,000, the stadium will be designed for top-tier rugby league, union and football matches, as well as up to 10 major concerts per year.

Economic Boost

Led by John Holland Group, the redevelopment is expected to generate around 500 construction jobs and 650 ongoing operational jobs, bringing significant economic benefits to the region. The precinct will also support local businesses through increased foot traffic and event-day tourism.

Community-Centric Design

Alongside major events, the redeveloped stadium will offer spaces for private hire such as meetings, catered functions and conferences. The adjacent training field will be redesigned into a vibrant community hub featuring multipurpose courts, child-friendly play zones and new landscaping for recreational use.
