Exciting progress is underway in Mount Duneed, Victoria, where ADCO has secured the contract to deliver the new Waurn Ponds Sporting Complex being delivered by Development Victoria in partnership with SPORT & RECREATION VICTORIA. To mark the start of construction, we proudly hosted key stakeholders including The Hon. Ros Spence, Minister for Community Sport, Corrina eccles, Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, Hannah Clement Executive General Manager Civic Infrastructure Development Victoria, and Cr Stretch Kontelj OAM Mayor, City of Greater Geelong for a sod-turning event celebrating the beginning of a transformative project for the region. This major regional sports and community hub is being delivered in partnership with Development Victoria, Sport and Recreation Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong, and Wadawurrung Traditional Owners. As part of the Victorian Government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Program, the complex will feature: 🔹 Six multi-sport indoor courts 🔹 A regional-level gymnastics facility 🔹 A dance studio and hall 🔹 Modern change rooms and community spaces 🔹 Over 300 car parking spaces, including EV charging facilities Co-designed to reflect local cultural heritage, the project will embed Wadawurrung-led storytelling into the built form and landscape. More than just a facility, this is a long-term investment in Geelong’s liveability, health, and economic participation, supporting job creation, inclusive community spaces, and regional event-hosting capacity. Completion is expected in early 2027, and we are thrilled to be part of this legacy. #ADCO #PeopleWhoBuild #DevelopmentVictoria #CommunityInfrastructure #BuilderOfChoice #Construction
What an exciting project! These designs look sensational. 🤩
Impressive vision and delivery team behind this one. The whole region will benefit from such an inclusive and well-planned facility.
Congratulations ADCO. A big milestone and an even bigger project for Geelong.
A great example of community-driven infrastructure done right. 👏 Projects like this go beyond construction — they strengthen regional wellbeing, create pathways for sport and recreation, and ensure future generations have modern, inclusive spaces to learn, connect and grow. Well done to everyone involved. Looking forward to seeing this one come to life and the positive impact it will bring to the wider Geelong region.
Solid project, congrats 👏
