BESIX Watpac has been awarded the high-profile Moore Park Precinct Village project, set to transform Sydney’s iconic sport and entertainment hub.
The project is a partnership between BESIX Watpac and Venues NSW, aimed at delivering new community and recreational facilities, increased public space, and a new underground car park in the Moore Park precinct.
Mark Baker, CEO of BESIX Watpac, expressed his enthusiasm for the project win, stating, “BESIX Watpac is thrilled to be entrusted with this high-profile project that will enhance both the SCG and Allianz Stadium’s appeal as a recreational destination. The project will benefit from our team’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of our clients as well as enrich the surrounding community.”
The project will transform an existing parking area near Allianz Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) into a vibrant ‘village precinct’.
The new precinct will feature accessible open green spaces, a children’s play area, food and beverage offerings, and the creation of a car park with up to 1500 spaces available.
Giovanni Polimeni, BESIX Watpac’s General Manager NSW, emphasised the company’s commitment to ensuring safety and business continuity while working in the busy precinct.
“Many of our projects are delivered in fully operational environments within precincts that experience both high vehicle and foot traffic,” Polimeni said.
“Recognising the operational complexities of working within a major live event facility, BESIX Watpac has worked closely with Venues NSW to understand event schedules and tailor our methodology to accommodate these requirements.”
The SCG precinct, established in the 1850s, is a foundational site in world sport and has hosted some of the biggest names, acts, and sports events.
The Moore Park Precinct Village and Carpark project will be funded by Venues NSW, with construction expected to be completed in 2026.
The project is set to enhance Sydney’s iconic sports and entertainment hub, providing new community and recreational facilities while preserving the precinct’s rich history and significance.
