A new long-term masterplan has been revealed by the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Trust for the creation of a new sports and entertainment precinct in central Sydney, Australia.

The vision contains and links the SCG itself with the Allianz Stadium and surrounding land, with the trust aiming to maintain the visitor experience for sports fans and concert goers.

Key components of the masterplan include the completion of the SCG's Northern Stand, as well as a redevelopment of its Churchill, Brewongle and O'Reilly Stands.

A new public plaza will be established between the SCG and the Allianz Stadium, which will boast a newly-extended or fully-covered roof and an LED façade mesh.

Meanwhile, the masterplan also contains parklands and sporting fields that will allow Moore Park to rival locations like the UK's Hyde Park and Munich's Olympic Park in Germany.

SCG Trust chief executive Jamie Barkley said: "The precinct has been Sydney's centre of sport and entertainment and for over 150 years and the masterplan builds on this history.

"This masterplan incorporates a whole of precinct approach which involves upgrading and improving facilities, transport, parking and pedestrian access."
