Western Sydney Wanderers are celebrating a major victory in the design for the new stadium in Parramatta after a safe standing section for active fans was included in the final plans for the new 30,000-seated venue.

The NSW government unveiled the winning design for the new state-of-the-art stadium to completed by 2019 that will likely see the Wanderers be given the green light to have the first modern terrace in Australian football.

The Wanderers were locked in a lengthy battle to convince the government, prospective builders and their co-tenants Parramatta Eels of approving a large section of safe standing seats that allow for their active supporters to stand and move freely during games. Along with several standard requests such as improved corporate facilities, catering for their active supporters was at the forefront of the Wanderers' submission for the new stadium.

A request of up to 1000 safe standing seats behind the goal was submitted to the government and prospective tenders and while the Wanderers are yet to be fully briefed on the final design of the new Parramatta Stadium it is understood the club was informed the safe standing request was included.
