The NSW Government is redeveloping the Sydney Football Stadium into a modern, world-class venue, to ensure Sydney has a sporting and entertainment precinct of an international standard and that NSW remains the number one choice for sporting and entertainment events.
Investing in a new, state-of-the-art Stadium at Moore Park will drive growth in the visitor economy, promote a strong cultural and sporting sector, and make NSW more liveable.
On Thursday 6 December 2018, Stage One approval was received and Lendlease were awarded the demolition and construction contract. Demolition of the stadium has commenced and is progressing well with stage one works expected to be complete in late 2019.
Infrastructure NSW has submitted a stage two State Significant Development Application (SSDA). As part of the application, Infrastructure NSW has prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). You can view the EIS on the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s Major Projects website.
Under the Infrastructure NSW 2011 Act, Infrastructure NSW may carry out a major infrastructure project on behalf of the NSW Government, if authorised to do by a Project Authorisation Order. On 12 April 2018, the Premier of NSW signed a Project Authorisation Order, declaring Infrastructure NSW responsible for the planning, procurement and delivery of the Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment.
Approval is sought in two stages:
Community feedback and input is vital to the overall success of the project. The EIS is now on public exhibition here for 28 days until 17 July 2019. Infrastructure NSW has also produced an EIS overview document outlining the key aspects of the EIS.
Community members and stakeholders can now make a public submission to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment via the website. Instructions on how to make a submission are also available here.
Work to demolish the Sydney Football Stadium is progressing as planned with almost 60 percent of the stadium now complete. In late May, the eastern stand roof was lowered and demolition of the western and eastern stands concrete structure continues to take place. During this time materials from the stadium’s roof and stand structures have been processed, sorted and progressively removed from site.
Demolition of the stadium is expected to be complete in late 2019.
