Twenty-five tennis venues have been successful in securing over $4.6 million in grant funding through the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing this week to complete projects to a value of almost $9.2 million.
A total of 117 sporting projects around the state are being funded out of three grant programs including the Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program, Grassroots Facilities Program and Regional and Districts Facilities Program.
Spalding Tennis Club has received $146,400 to resurface two existing tennis courts and build two new tennis courts as part of their relocation to the main sporting precinct at Spalding Oval. The tennis club will now sit alongside the football and netball clubs, with four tennis courts under lights.
