Jack Edwards Stadium was designed to celebrate the club’s vital role in the community and its status as a National Premier League (NPL) venue.

The facility not only meets Football Victoria (FV) standards but also creates an inspiring and active environment for players and visitors alike.

Welcoming to all, the stadium features gender-neutral and fully accessible facilities.

Thoughtfully integrated into the broader reserve, it establishes a new arrival point and serves as a central focus for the main football pitch, strengthening both the sporting and community experience.

500 spectator seats are raised high over the ground with carefully realised sightline criteria to provide excellent views over the field.

A large social space looks over the spectator seats, and is serviced by a commercial kitchen and bar providing a prime venue for a variety of sports and community functions.

The lower level features a dramatic 2 level arrival foyer that provides entrance to the facility. North facing glass to Edward
Street is protected with a folded perforated screen that provides a strong community address.

A secure players and officials spine leads to 2 sets of players change rooms that can be divided into 4 for added flexibility.

Adjacent spaces include officials change rooms, storage and first aid.

A players race provides direct access to the field and includes a retractable cage for player and official security.

A simple structural grid provides optimum structural repetition and efficiency.

The distinctive fanning form of the building accentuates the cantilevered roof and responds dynamically to the field, creating a sense of movement and energy. The rear façade, which could have been a plain utilitarian surface, was instead animated with profiled precast concrete that adds visual interest and texture.
