I don't think what you suggest is geographically tied to Sydney. Many other projects around Australia have suffered similar fate. I like this project's chances - I grew up in Penrith. Penrith is already host to several olympic level sporting facilities including the regatta centre and Penrith Whitewater. The site is perfectly located, and right next to Panthers \ Cables Ski Park. Will have to wait and see, but i'd like to see this succeed. The new Airport will also make it far easier to connect to the Penrith sporting precincts for state and interstate sporting teams.

With that said, however:
