The new Parramatta Eels Rugby League Centre of Excellence and Community Hub at Kellyville Park is a landmark precinct for Western Sydney, bringing elite sport and grassroots community together in one integrated campus. Designed by HB Architects and delivered with Kane Constructions and Durnco Group, the development combines world-class training, coaching, and administration facilities with generous community amenities and a boutique match venue.
Five full-size, international-standard playing fields, a dedicated community centre, and flexible match-day spaces support local junior clubs and emerging talent as well as the Eels’ Elite Pathways programs. The architecture and interiors are underpinned by a robust, performance-driven material palette that reflects the club’s identity while creating welcoming, high-functioning spaces for players, staff, and visitors. Across the precinct, acoustic design, durability, and fire compliance have been carefully balanced to deliver an environment that feels cohesive, contemporary, and built for long-term community benefit.
Our
Contribution
We supplied a tailored suite of acoustic and lining solutions across administration, public, training, and external zones, each selected to meet specific performance and design requirements. This included slatted systems in a SmartLook Plantation Oak finish for the boardroom and workplace areas, linear acoustic panels throughout circulation and high-traffic spaces, perforated plasterboard ceilings in public zones, and timber-look panels in Birch Ply finishes for both gyms and external soffits. We procured and coordinated these systems to align with the architectural vision, achieve targeted NRC and Group 1 fire ratings, and ensure a seamless visual language from interiors through to the building envelope.
What We Procured
- Acoustic wall & ceiling systems
- MDF panels
Technical Requirements Supported
