Executive Summary from Luke
Coleman General Manager Parramatta Stadium |
Parramatta Stadium Master Plan - 2011
In 2010 the Parramatta
Stadium Trust commissioned Hassell architects to review the existing master
plan of the stadium and make recommendations as to the development of the
venue.
The concept plan has been
adopted by the Trust and stakeholders have been engaged in preparing a business
case for the development.
It should be noted that the
whole landscape of the precinct East of The Parramatta River has been included
and of course consultation with the Parramatta Park Trust is essential and has
already commenced.
The Master Plan takes into
account future requirements for the venue to maintain market position in
providing first rate facilities for patrons and players, attracting new hirers
( players and corporate facilities) and creating additional revenue opportunity
(function facility) in order to retain self funding status for operations and
minor works.
