What a proud moment for ADCO, celebrating the completion and official opening of Hawthorn Football Club’s $113m Kennedy Community Centre in Dingley, VIC.

Delivering this world-class sporting facility is a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in construction.

The centre features the Harris High Performance Centre, complete with:

An elite gymnasium
Full aquatic facilities, including a magnesium pool and dry sauna
Equal amenities and locker rooms for both AFL and AFLW programs

Alongside the MCG-sized training oval is the dedicated AFLW Oval and Community Pavilion, boasting:

Full broadcast facilities
Floodlights for night games
Purpose-built spaces for future AFLW matches and community use

At the official opening, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese summed up the achievement perfectly:

“We need to get them in charge of a few of our projects right around the country.”

This project is a true celebration of collaboration, innovation, and excellence in construction, creating spaces that inspire athletes and connect communities.

A huge thank you to the Hawthorn Hawks project team, our consultants, trade partners, and all our people who made this possible.
