“It is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver world-class facilities to the local community … and will further enhance Penrith’s reputation as a world-class event and tourism destination.”

The city of Penrith is on the edge of a significant tourism boom, with major infrastructure works currently underway to further enhance the Penrith Panthers precinct, including the upcoming Western Sydney International Airport just 30 minutes away.

“Western Sydney is going through a significant growth period, especially in Penrith, which is enjoying a tourism and infrastructure boom through the new airport. It really is the engine room of Sydney,” Accor Pacific CEO Sarah Derry said.
