Welcome to Essendon Football Club's Flight Plan.

Construction is nearing completion on the new High Performance Centre at Melbourne Airport with the training and administration base expected to be finished later this year.

The project cost to secure this generational outcome for the Club is $25 million and a comprehensive fundraising strategy has ensured $20 million has already been raised towards the project. The Flight Plan fundraising from members and supporters continues to gain momentum with over $800,000 of the $3 million target pledged.

If the fundraising falls short of the desired outcome, the Club will be forced take on debt over the next few years.

The Flight Plan website will keep members and supporters up to date with all the latest information about the facility, project timelines, the funding challenge, how to donate and our in flight rewards program.
