Community Tennis Clubhouse Renovation/Update

With funding support, the Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Club will remove and replace the existing damaged asbestos roof, as currently the roof is in such bad repair there is constant leaking which is putting pressure on the ageing ceiling to the point of a real risk of collapse, obviously creating a health and safety risk. We will update and improve the infrastructure and facilities inside the clubhouse such as the toilets and change rooms. This will make the community building more accessible for people with disability, so they can fully participate at the Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Club.

The Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Club provides a central hub for two sporting groups, both the tennis club and the Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Bowls Club. Each of these clubs have a member base of over 300 who regularly use the shared clubhouse facility. Both clubs hold regular events during the year which attract more than 2000 participants. Various passive exercise groups also access the clubhouse so the facility is a real asset to the community. Within each group there is a wide age range participating, with this grant it would allow equal access to the community.
