Upgrades to Sydney's suburban stadiums flagged in NSW budget

Government to earmark money to explore revamps in a departure from funding large stadium upgrades

The New South Wales budget will include funding for planning work on Sydney suburban stadiums, including in Kogarah, but the government says it is not yet ready to designate money to specific boutique projects.

It is understood the 17 November budget will earmark between $2m and $3m over the next two years as a means of exploring a business case for revamping the city's sporting infrastructure to create jobs and economic growth.
