New tennis courts and infrastructure

The 2009 Master Plan for Riddells Creek Recreation Reserve proposed that 9 hard courts be constructed over 3 Stages. Stage 1 incorporating three hard courts was completed in May 2013. Stage 2 proposes increasing the footprint to six with the construction of three new tennis hard courts to accommodate the tennis club's increasing membership and competition demands. Juniors and Seniors competitions and coaching lessons access the courts on most days of the week. The courts are also available to the local primary school for their sport development programs. Access to the general public is also being considered.

The Stage 2 Hard Courts Project will provide both economic and social benefits beyond the construction phase to the Riddells Creek community. It is anticipated that the club's professional tennis coaching staff will increase from two to three or more. Currently 80 people (children and adults) undertake professional lessons, it continues to grow. We anticipate significant growth by at least 25% with three more tennis courts. Increased population growth in the region should deliver greater benefits over time as access to expanded modern community facilities will have considerable social benefits and are critical in maintaining community identity and wellbeing.
