Five new synthetic grass courts and lighting are in the final stages of being installed at the Maryborough Tennis Centre.
The $523,000 project is jointly funded thanks to $400,000 from the Victorian Government, $71,700 from Council, $20,000 contribution from the Maryborough Tennis Centre and a $31,300 National Court Rebate via Tennis Australia.
The courts are being constructed by Council’s Operations team and Tuff Group, fencing by RNCO.CO and RJC Electrical Solutions Pty Ltd will deliver the new lighting.
Maryborough Tennis Centre President Heather Carr said the upgrade was part of a 10-year advocacy process by the club and committee.
“The new courts will save on greenkeeper costs, maintenance of grass courts and lawn mowers plus water savings to have safe, sustainable courts for the future.
"The new light towers will allow play during the whole year and will mean tennis coaching programs can extend after daylight.
“The club volunteers and members look forward to welcoming the community to experience the new courts.”
