Design refinements The design of the stadium has been enhanced through the detailed design process. However, the overall height and shape has remained in line with the approved Development Application.
The main changes of note are illustrated in the updated design of the new stadium’s main entry from Driver Avenue.
— The brick walls have been reduced in size to add a more human scale and folded down on the ends to provide a stronger visual link to the landscaping on top.
— The materials used for the walls have changed and are similar to the existing brick wall that runs down Driver Ave to the SCG – creating a strong visual connection.

Archaeological find at the SFS site During Stage 1 demolition works, a large sandstone wall, estimated to have been built over 100 years ago, was uncovered in the western section of the site.
Following a formal assessment and report by archaeologists, the wall was identified to be a substantial structure made from dressed sandstone blocks in a coursed ashlar masonry form.
According to the project archaeologists, the wall appears on the 1917 plan below as a boundary of a former road and is likely to have been constructed between 1898 and 1917 and not part of the former military rifle range associated with Victoria Barracks. This area at various times had a garden, Engineering Corps buildings and a cricket ground associated with the military barracks.
It is likely that the road was formed sometime after 1896, when the entrance from Moore Park Road to Sydney Common was expanded into a link road. While the road was originally surveyed as one chain wide, it appears that by
1917 a decision had been made to narrow the road to “a vehicle width” (half a chain) with the unwanted section of the road (the northern half) being added to the grant of the Athletic Sports Ground.
A wall is visible in roughly the same location on a number of 1930 era oblique aerial archival images and on the 1943 aerial archival images. Presumably, it was mostly removed when the former Sydney Football stadium was first constructed in 1988.
The wall was exposed, surveyed and recorded in accordance with the recommendations of the project archaeologists and has now been removed so that Stage 2 works can continue in the area.
The project team is exploring the feasibility of reusing some of the sandstone that was salvaged in the stadium landscaping.
