John Holland successfully delivered the iconic Sydney Football Stadium on-time and on-budget in late 2022. This new, world-class entertainment destination is a major drawcard for sporting and cultural events and was constructed in close and effective partnership with Infrastructure NSW. 
The new Sydney Football Stadium includes 42,500 undercover seats with unrivalled sight lines. Venue seating features the largest Indigenous public artwork in the Southern Hemisphere, designed by award winning artist Tony Albert to represent the theme of ‘Worlds Colliding - Water and Land’.
The Sydney Football Stadium features an iconic floating steel roof with 100% drip line roof coverage. The synclastic diagrid shell structure of the roof is supported by four super columns (derricks) at the corners of the stadium. Inner arched trusses span the distance between the derricks, with each truss measuring approximately 140m by 90m. These trusses are connected by large 260mm diameter pins. The structural design also includes an outer tension ring and underlying columns connecting and supporting the roof to stadium bowl steelwork.
The Judges were impressed with the finished stadium that has a high standard of finish and this outstanding facility should serve the community for many years to come.
