Stadium revamp plan for Sydney

SYDNEY STADIUM STRATEGY

* Billed as the biggest investment in sport and major event infrastructure in NSW since the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

DETAILS LOCKED IN:

* $600 million has been set aside in Rebuilding NSW.

* Construction to begin soon on a new 30,000 seat stadium at the existing Pirtek Stadium site in Parramatta, costing about $300 million and due for completion by 2019.

STILL BEING HASHED OUT:

* Government will allocate an additional $1 billion in funding to support a decade-long construction pipeline plan.

* Existing Moore Park stadium likely to be replaced with a new rectangular stadium with 50,000 to 55,000 seats.

* The redevelopment of Stadium Australia, which may include a retractable roof.

* A new indoor arena near the CBD, possibly at the Sydney Entertainment Centre site at Haymarket.

* A new outer western Sydney sporting venue.

* The completion of the SCG upgrade.

- Upgrades depend on final business cases, design work and the NSW government reaching content agreements with the sporting codes.

- Move towards a single governing entity for Sydney's stadia network.
