9News has been told the NSW government is waiting for final approval on the plans for a 25,000-30,000 seat venue, similar to Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta.
The new arena would be built using funds previously earmarked for the Stadium Australia refurbishment, which was cancelled last year.
Penrith's new stadium is being prioritised over similar venues in Brookvale, Kogarah and Liverpool.
