Hockey Tennis Shaded Social BBQ Recreation Area

Participation in sports such as hockey and tennis is severely impacted by many factors, including poor facilities. We would like to extend the roofline of our existing club-room and add weather blinds and an electric BBQ to create an outside shaded social area. The combined memberships of the tennis and hockey facility is more than 800 players, as such many social events, involving the members and their friends are conducted at the club-rooms and the need for an outside, shaded and protected BBQ social recreation, is regarded by members to be particularly important.

Community expectations of sporting facilities is changing, demanding more, and must be met to attract and retain participants. The provision of welcoming clubhouse facilities promotes a desirable, positive club culture and encourages socially engaged people to play more sport more often. The added shaded and BBQ recreation area will significantly improve our clubhouse environment and associated facilities leading to more social interaction, passive activity and children’s play. Multiple user groups can use the facility for a greater variety of activities, whilst creating revenue options for the Clubs. The general health and well-being of community members will improve as a result.
