ANZ Stadium to be refurbished into a rectangular stadium
06 April 2018
NSW Government:
A major renovation of
ANZ Stadium will ensure
that
Sydney continues to host the NRL Grand Final for the next 25 years.
The
NSW Government has decided to proceed with a renovation of the ANZ
Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park.
The
refurbished facility will deliver a better experience by bringing
fans closer to the action and making all seats undercover.
Construction is expected to start in late 2019 and be completed by
mid-2021.
The government has also announced it will fully redevelop
Allianz
Stadium into a world-class venue. Improvements to the Moore Park stadium
include:
-
substantially improved sightlines
-
a roof that covers all patrons
-
significantly improved amenity, and food and beverage options.
Work on Allianz Stadium is
expected to commence in late 2018, and be completed by March 2022.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said compared to a “knock down rebuild”, the
cost of renovating ANZ Stadium would save $500 million and complete the
rebuild two years earlier than previously scheduled.
“We will be able to deliver two outstanding stadiums for Sydney at the
best possible value for taxpayers,” Ms Berejiklian said.
The revised plans for these
stadiums will cost around $1.5 billion.
