What do you mean? It remains the first stage in a potentially multi-stage upgrade.

Brookvale Centre of excellence
$200 million would be one of those figures plucked out of the air. As I intimated at post #318, a full rebuild to the standard of the CoE, should be achievable for well under that amount.

This government will probably pull down the almost-finished centre of excellence before it opens to put in a new stadium.
I think of all the times over all the years this has been promised and we are still where we are today.
However , to give PVL some credit , he loves the idea of smaller “ tribal” home grounds v the large “ **** all atmosphere “ stadia, so this one might actually happen.

I can’t read about dioramas now without immediately thinking of this classic exchange:
Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can’t even fit inside the building?
Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small-
Derek Zoolander: I don’t wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least three times bigger than this!
Hahaha thanks now neither can I
Well we miss out again for now
Penrith Stadium will be knocked down and rebuilt to create a world-class sporting and cultural destination, as part of the state government’s suburban stadium masterplan.
The boutique stadium in Western Sydney is set to have a capacity of between 25,000 and 30,000 people, and will come at an estimated cost of around $300 million.
No time-frame has yet been set for when the first Steeden will be kicked at the ground – the full redevelopment will go through a competitive design and construction tender.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said it made sense to invest in infrastructure for Western Sydney, in line with his “six cities” vision announced at The Daily Telegraph’s Bradfield Oration last week.
The stadiums strategy has identified Greater Penrith to Eastern Creek as a key growth corridor for the region, emphasising the importance of a revitalised Penrith Stadium.
“We are sending a clear message to Australia and the rest of the world that Western Sydney is a cultural capital in its own right,” Mr Perrottet told The Telegraph.
“You have Moore Park in the eastern city, Parramatta in the central city and then Penrith in the Western Parkland city,” he said
“As Western Sydney grows, this stadium will have greater use and prominence. It will stand tall in Western Sydney for everyone.”
The current stadium in Penrith is more than 40 years old, and, according to Mr Perrottet, “in need of repairs”.
A revamped Penrith Stadium is one of a number of boutique stadiums which had been under consideration since last year, after the government abandoned plans to spend $820 million upgrading ANZ stadium.
The government is continuing to examine options for other boutique stadiums – potentially Kogarah and Brookvale – but no commitments have been made.
Money to fund business cases for new suburban stadiums was first committed in the 2020 budget, with a further investment included in Mr Perrottet’s last budget in June.
Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V’landys has previously insisted that the $820 million saved by abandoning the ANZ plans should be spent on building smaller, boutique stadiums around Sydney.
Mr V’Landys yesterday commended Mr Perrottet for investing in a new Penrith stadium.
“I think this is the best news ever for Penrith – they’re going to have a world class stadium which young kids will aspire to play at,” he said.
He said the upgraded stadium “will keep the money in the local economy, and there’ll be so many other sports and community events which can be held at that ground”.
“Whatever the government spends on it, they’ll get a multiplier of three or four.”
Jobs Minister and Local MP Stuart Ayres said fans will “flock” to the “state of the art temple of sport”. “It is much more than just a football ground,” Mr Ayres said.
Sports Minister Natalie Ward said the new stadium will be a “world-class” venue for “world-class sporting events”.

This is statement is hilarious, I don’t even know where to start unpacking it:
“We are sending a clear message to Australia and the rest of the world that Western Sydney is a cultural capital in its own right,” Mr Perrottet told The Telegraph.
The world is now on notice! Penrith will have a better grandstand therefore pay attention world! Western Sydney is a cultural capital.
