The NSW Government has announced it will be dumping its plan to revamp Sydney's Olympic Stadium, instead pledging to put the $810 million of savings into fast-tracked infrastructure projects.
She hoped the additional funds — which boosted the state's economic recovery pipeline from the virus to $100 billion — would inject up to an extra 20,000 jobs across metro and regional NSW. The Premier said about 220,000 people in NSW have become unemployed amid the "economic devastation" of the coronavirus.The ANZ Stadium upgrade was one of the NSW Government's key issues in last year's state election.
cog_ink GladysB What should also be scrapped is all the transport infrastructure for the 2nd Sydney airport. The air traffic forecasts are pies in the skies. Which airlines, airports will survive? The accumulated debt will be crushing
Nice thunderstorm in the distance! 😮
it a perfectly good stadium Alan Jones is no longer on 2GB so Gladys had the courage to scrape it Like Opera house racing ads debacle was due Alan Jones
This should never have been a priority. It's not like it's old and falling down. It still is capable of bringing in a big crowd. The teams playing there just need to pick up their game to draw back the fans. NRL ALeague NRL
What the hell is the deal with state governments and stadium upgrades? Why the addiction?
Pity GladysB wasted $700mil on a needless light rail system in Newcastle - constructed 50m from a perfectly functioning rail line! All to appease developers!
But GladysB is going ahead with relocating the Powerhouse Museum - another needless waste of money! The business case for the stadium redevelopment must have been pretty flimsy (if there was a business case)!
I'm just happy our Olympic heritage wasn't knocked down
They should also leave a hole in the ground at Moore Park for the foreseeable future.
More important things than sports stadiums right now. And for quite some time also.
great .. more money for hospitals .. no ?
Good.
