Jack Edwards Stadium | Katz Architecture

Jack Edwards Stadium delivers a new benchmark for community sporting infrastructure, providing a national-league–compliant facility that serves both elite competition and everyday community use. Designed for the City of Monash and Oakleigh Cannons Football Club, the project transforms a constrained site into a civic landmark through a clear architectural strategy centred on elevated seating, optimal sightlines and layered program beneath the grandstand.

The stadium features 500 covered spectator seats beneath a dramatic cantilevered roof, professional-grade player facilities, and generous social spaces with direct views to the pitch. A clearly articulated northern entry and animated façades establish a strong presence within the reserve, reinforcing the building’s role as a public destination.

Durable, low-maintenance materials and adaptable internal planning maximise long-term value and flexibility, allowing the facility to support a wide range of community events. The completed stadium supports health, wellbeing and social connection while fostering pride and identity for users.
