An indoor snow resort, which would be Australia's first, is aiming to open in 2025.
Winter Sports World's roster of active entertainment will, according to Concrete Playground, include a 300m indoor ski slope, snow sports competition zone, ice and rock climbing facilities and play area with a winter wonderland theme.
The building itself is being designed by architectural firm Collins and Turner, who are based in Sydney. The firm is collaborating with First Nations artist Jamie Eastwood, landscape architecture firm JLA Landscape Architects, environmental design consultant and engineers Atelier Ten, facade and structural engineer Eckersley O'Callaghan and Electrolight, who is providing lighting design.
The new venue will also be host to an array of F&B amenities through its own restaurants, bars and cafes. Penrith City Council are reportedly hoping that Winter Sports World will be a major attraction for the area, aiming to double tourism by the time of its opening in 2025.
