Unley Oval Community Hub Wins

Kennett's redevelopment of the Unley Oval Community Hub has recently won both a Master Business Association (SA) Business Excellence Award as well as the SANFL Community Football Facility of the Year for 2023.

The Unley Oval Community Hub project for Sturt Football Club and the City of Unley has created a modern community sporting hub for this historic club. With a state-of-the-art facility for local sports including SANFL, it will provide an exceptional match day experience.

The MBA(SA) judges comments were as follows;

“The Unley Oval Community Hub by Kennett was finished to an exceptional standard with internal and external works of the highest quality. The project boasted 7-degree angled glazing façade with never before done angled auto sliding windows. The existing roof was kept on until the new 1st floor slab was poured to mitigate risk of damage to finished areas below.

The builder faced considerable site difficulties, having to demolish portions of the grandstand, to then build four new levels within the same space.

The value for money on this project is commendable, particularly considering the level of equipment needed and the high standards of finishes achieved. Well done Kennett.”
