Project Value:

$100 million

The Kennedy Community Centre is the future new training and administration home of the Hawthorn Football Club, with the project due for completion mid-2024.

The plans include the construction of a $100 million headquarters and community facilities across 28 hectares at Dingley, including an MCG-sized training oval and elite aquatic and gym facilities for the Hawks men’s and women’s teams. The main oval would host home games for a future Hawthorn AFLW team, as well as VFL and community matches.

The Kennedy Community Centre will feature:

  • A community pavilion and oval built to ensure gender equal facilities and public amenities, specifically for community use and engagement
  • Flexible education and learning spaces enabling delivery of flagship, partnered programs that mentor, lead, educate and inspire
  • An indoor stadium for community basketball, netball, volleyball, and wheelchair AFL
  • A main oval and the Harris Elite Training and Administration Facility which will cater for all Hawthorn teams equally
  • Administrative spaces for community and not-for-profit organisations to share the club’s resources, creating a healthy, inclusive, and cohesive culture through participation and sport

We are providing full quantity surveying for the project.
