The Eastern Golf Club is a prestigious Golf Club which also has 4 great tennis courts. They have engaged gripping potential tennis coaching to get the community playing on the courts but with no shelter near the courts there's nowhere for parents / siblings to watch in the summer heat / winter drizzle and nowhere for the players to congregate without walking over into the golf lounge which is very lovely but quite formal. Players and spectators would feel more comfortable with their own space to relax between sets and be able to cheer on their team mates.

The community of Yering and surrounding suburbs in the Outer East are encouraged to play Cardio Tennis, FAST4 Tennis, Miss-Hits - Tennis for girls, competition tennis and social tennis on the courts at The Eastern Golf Club. However, as they're not members of the Golf Club it would be great for them and great for tennis to have a sheltered area for them to congregate to support each other and for parents, grandparents and siblings to spectate and support in a casual environment out of the elements.

Important to grow with the community and create an environment that encourages participation for persons of all ages. Providing shelters is a great way to enhance the existing facilities and provide cover for year-round usage.

Tennis and Golf complement each other so well. Finally and opportunity to allow spectators and participants to seek shelter from the elements when enjoying their TENNIS.
