The essential early works for the Penrith Stadium redevelopment are now complete.
The NSW Government will deliver a $309 million redevelopment of Penrith Stadium to support the growing population of Western Sydney and improve the event experience for venue users.

Penrith Stadium Redevelopment Update
Work on the Penrith Stadium Redevelopment is powering along with a major milestone coming soon.
The western grandstand has been knocked down and the eastern grandstand is in the process of coming down.
It’s all part of the exciting transformation ahead, with a major milestone just around the corner.
Check out the vision below to see the progress so far as we move closer to delivering a world-class stadium experience for Panthers members and fans.
Additional Work
In October 2024, Stage 1 of the project began with critical preparation works, including the relocation of a major Sydney Water sewer main located beneath the western grandstand. This infrastructure serves a large portion of Penrith and connects to the existing infrastructure, outside of the new building footprint. With this work complete, the old sewer main has been safely decommissioned.
Sydney Water is also addressing long-standing odour issues from the nearby sewer pumping station. A new treatment plant is being designed and installed to improve air quality in the area. This work is expected to be complete in time for the stadium’s reopening.
The car park at Howell Oval has been reinstated and reopened for public use.
This milestone marks an important step forward in the delivery of the stadium project, and we thank the community for their continued support.
