Parramatta Stadium Master Plan

In 2010 the Board of Trustees commissioned a review of the existing Master Plan and planned development of the stadium.

Hassell architects undertook the work and provided a comprehensive concept master plan that takes into account the landscape of the precinct and the park setting, for a ‘boutique stadium in the park’.

The Board has approved the plan and has proceeded with engaging stakeholders in the process to formalising a business case for the development.

The essence of the development will provide the following:\

Utilisation of the existing grandstand structures
Installation of a 500 seat function event space
Completion of corporate suites in the Eastern Grandstand – 1,100 extra corporate seating including 500 seat function room.
Expansion of players facilities – 2 x gymnasiums and 4 x change rooms
Public capacity increased to 31,300 seats
Landscape of the precinct, defined entrances at North East and South East corners and vastly improved pedestrian access from the Parramatta CBD

The Master Plan can be staged, and an estimated cost of the completion of the plan is $98 Million, with the first stage of developing the East and West Grandstands having an estimated cost of approximately $34 Million.

"If there was a star 5/8 available you'd sign them. That would give us the finish product straight away and it's probably my preferred route however I'm not seeing many 5/8's you'd break the bank for. Joash is worth persisting with and an off season…"

For the best part of $100 Mill - it should be in the TRASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this info from the Parramatta stadium website. All legit unless it's a bogus site.

Its funny how people always complain about Parra stadium being to small but we rarely fill it as it is now. Won't be capacity crowd this year the way they are playing.

For 98 mill i will add in some plants and concrete.

A retractable roof to keep rain out, an extension to the northern & southern grandstand, and another replay screen should be main priorities.

The outiside renovations of the stadium to modernise it, would make it a nice touch.

Muttman - I live in Qld and even we have heard there is a $4.5 BILLION hole in the NSW coffers - so I reckon you have got this one correct.
