30,000-seat stadium will be available in Parramatta for many sport and entertainment fans in Western Sydney. 

The existing Pirtek Stadium will be demolished in early 2017 and mark the beginning of the $1.6 billion stadium project. 

The new stadium designed by Lendlease will include WiFi, activation precinct, pedestrian and public transport links, Gold LEED Energy, Environmental design rating and an improved access to Parramatta Park. 
“The design boasts Australia’s steepest stands to ensure fans will be closer to the action than they are at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, or any other in the country,” NSW Premier Mike Baird said. 

“The Western Sydney economy will benefit from 1200 jobs that will be created during construction and at least 900 ongoing jobs to support the stadium and the major sporting events and concerts it will attract for decades to come,” he added. 

Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said that the new design is a game changer for Sydney’s sporting heartland and become a world-class venue that will revolutionise the spectator experience. 

“The new jewel in the Parramatta crown, Western Sydney Stadium was designed with the entire fan experience in mind,” Mr Ayres said. “Western Sydney now has a stadium to set a new standard for sporting experience in Sydney- a precinct of global significance we can all be proud of.”
The new venue is scheduled to open in early 2019.
