Michael Woodland Consulting Pty Ltd Page 4 Request for Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements - Western Sydney Stadium – February 2016 1 Introduction The purpose of this report is to provide a preliminary environmental assessment of the proposed new Western Sydney Stadium. It is proposed to lodge a staged development application for the project under section 83B of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 [EP&A Act], comprising of: • a concept proposal for the new stadium and related indoor recreation/community facility building envelopes • Stage 1 Approval for: demolition works for the Stadium and Parramatta Pool and related subdivision Further detailed development applications are to be lodged for future stages of the project. This report supports an application to the Department of Planning and Environment [DP&E] requesting the proposal be assessed as State significant development under the provisions of the State Environmental Planning Policy [State and Regional Development] 2011 [SRD SEPP] and that DP&E issue the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements [SEARs] under section 78[8A] of the EP&A Act and Clause 3 of Schedule 2 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 [EPAR] to enable the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement [EIS] for the project. 1.1 Project justification and public benefits On 4 September 2015, the NSW Premier Mike Baird and Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres announced a new stadium at Parramatta as the first project to be delivered as part of the Government’s package for sport and major event infrastructure for Sydney. Rebuilding NSW has allocated $300 million for the project on the site of the existing Parramatta Stadium facility, with work to begin as soon as possible and construction expected to be completed by 2019. This investment in the upgrade of Sydney’s stadia is aimed at increasing the city’s capacity to attract big ticket events to NSW, as well as creating and supporting thousands of jobs. A Plan for Growing Sydney (the Plan) identifies the importance of modern, efficient infrastructure to the city’s economic prosperity and, in this context, includes a specific action [Action 1.11.4] for the development of new sporting facilities for Western Sydney. The Plan identifies Parramatta as Sydney’s second CBD and includes a number of overarching priorities for Parramatta, including providing capacity for additional mixed-use development in the CBD and surrounding precincts, including a sports precinct around the Stadium. The proposed new Western Sydney Stadium is a key component of the NSW Government’s program to improve sport and major event infrastructure in Sydney and will directly support the strategic objectives for the Parramatta CBD and surrounding areas.

  • Stadiums Taskforce Report
    4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.

Close Academic rigour, journalistic flair Aerial view of the Sydney Football Stadium, which is to be rebuilt, and Sydney Cricket Ground. Questions of stadium design to deal with extreme heat are becoming more urgent. AAP January 17, 2018 6.14am AEDT For many Australians summer is synonymous with cricket and tennis. But as Author Australian summers become more prone to extreme heat conditions, sustainable and climate-adaptable stadium design has become a leading consideration for both sporting codes and governments.

And more are expected over the two weeks of the current tournament. As the New South Wales government embarks on a hugely expensive rebuild of major stadiums across Sydney, now is a good time to ask whether major Australian sports venues are adequately “climate- proofed” for a warming future. 1 of 5 12/11/2020, 3:32 pm We need to 'climate-proof' our sports stadiums https://theconversation.com/we-need-to-climate-proof-our-sports-stad...

  • Stadium Australia
    Final Business Case Summary Stadium Australia September 2019 September 2019 About this report This document summarises the Final Business Case (Business Case) for the redevelopment of Stadium Australia. The stadium, located within Sydney Olympic Park, has 83,600 seats and was constructed as the main venue for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The intent of the project is to redevelop the existing stadium into a permanent rectangular venue with 70,000 seats. This reconfiguration will move seats closer to the field of play and update the stadium to contemporary standards. The Business Case for the redevelopment of Stadium Australia was developed between September 2018 and March 2019, and was considered by the NSW Government in August 2019 following Gateway reviews and a peer review by the Centre for International Economics. Strategic context Stadium Australia is culturally and economically important Stadium Australia was the focus of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and is culturally important to the residents of Sydney and to Australians more broadly. The Stadium is also economically important and plays a significant role in NSW’s major event strategy. It hosts key national sporting events and attracts blockbuster international sport and entertainment. Events hosted at Stadium Australia create economic activity through ticket sales, television and broadcast rights, advertising, sponsorship and the sale of merchandise. This boosts the economy by contributing directly to output, to Gross Domestic Product and by providing employment opportunities for the local community. Sporting and entertainment events, particularly major events, also increase intrastate, interstate and international tourism. Events can attract visitors to NSW, and this promotes activity in tourism- related industries such as accommodation, cafes and restaurants, retail and transport.

  • 2014 NRL Year Book
    NRL Referees Col Pearce Medal 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 2014, 11th annual awarding of refereeing’s most prestigious prize, the Col Pearce Medal, which occurs at the culmination of the closest NRL season in history. As we are all aware, the closer any competition is, the greater the level of scrutiny on match officials and their performances. This season has been no different. The start of the season witnessed a new manager of the squad with Daniel Anderson moving to take up an opportunity as the General Manager of Football at Parramatta. As with any change of leadership this brings some level of apprehension and concern. All officials should be very proud of their efforts, dedication and commitment to the season. At the season launch early this year, I spoke about these qualities and I am confident to say that those in the squad delivered on them. For that I thank you. No official is successful without the wonderful support of their family and close friends. I thank all the partners for the support in the endless hours that the referees were away from home. Additionally, for those times when they were at home but distracted by the demands of officiating at the elite level. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff for their unbelievable support and hard work throughout the season. Your contribution to the success of the squad this year is immeasurable. As in any season, individuals and the group have had highs and lows but one of the most significant improvements was the level of support that the NRL Referee squad received from the NRL hierarchy including Nathan McGuirk, Todd Greenberg and Dave Smith as well as the NRL Commission.

    Statement of Environmental Effects Modification application for SSD 8175 relating to the Stage 2 Design and Construction of Western Sydney Stadium (Bankwest Stadium). Proposal to: increase the annual frequency of major events; and increase function space, patron numbers and timing of functions on non-event days at Bankwest Stadium September 2019 Venues NSW owns a portfolio of publicly owned sports and entertainment venues in NSW, on behalf of the NSW Government. Executive Summary Increased Frequency of Events Since Western Sydney Stadium (Bankwest Stadium) opened in April this year it has successfully conducted 21 major sporting and cultural events, welcoming in excess of 350,000 patrons. The Stadium presents as a world class facility capable of hosting a number of different major sporting, concert and cultural events. This has led to considerable interest from sporting clubs and event organisers in hosting their events at Bankwest Stadium. The Stadium is also part of a network of venues which includes the Sydney Football Stadium and Stadium Australia. The Sydney Football Stadium is currently being redeveloped, whilst the redevelopment of Stadium Australia is scheduled to commence in June 2020. The stadium redevelopment program leaves Bankwest Stadium as the only Stadium available in the network for approximately two (2) years. To ensure NSW remains competitive in the national and international sporting and event market both during the stadium network redevelopment and after its completion, Venues NSW seeks to increase the annual frequency
