 Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (13:20): Hawthorn Football Club have officially launched their brand new Kennedy Community Centre in Dingley Village. It was an amazing pleasure to have the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the Premier and the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events out at the Clarinda district on Monday to officially open the centre in Dingley, which has been supported by a $15 million investment from the Allan Labor government.

Hawthorn’s new AFLW home-ground oval will include a dedicated match-day pavilion with a 500-seat grandstand, team change rooms, umpire change rooms, media facilities, a coaches box and a function space. There is also a state-of-the-art Harris Elite training and administration facility, an MCG-sized oval, a gymnasium, indoor training facilities and wet and dry recovery facilities. It is a state-of-the-art project that will benefit the entire south-east community of Melbourne, with at least 20 hours per week dedicated to community use, helping promote sport in the region to get girls and boys active and healthy.
