Replace Tennis Court Fencing

We recently engaged a leading court/project consultant to complete a feasibility study and needs assessment of our courts, including detailed costings. The club spent $6,000 and their findings demonstrated that although we are a strong and vibrant club, we do not have the infrastructure to match it. This mainly covers the age and deteriorating condition of courts 3 to 6, the lighting on these courts and also the condition and age of our clubhouse. With a strong membership base and growing casual usage we need to upgrade and this grant would assist with supplying new fencing.

The fencing upgrade will support the members and also increase numbers in casual court users (now available through the book a court system) to provide better facilities for the local community. We have an active and effective committee of 9 people, over 220 paid members, 300 junior tennis students, which bucks the trend at many clubs. We are committed to developing the club as an important community hub but we cannot do this without upgraded facilities. Tennis is a cradle to grave active pursuit for many people with a broad range of different ages and groups playing at our club.
