Tennis Victoria are pleased to announce the recipients of the recently announced Venue Improvement Grants. As the Victorian tennis community continues to recover from the impact of COVID-19, Tennis Victoria is proud to continue to provide some financial support to affiliates. Further to the 30% affiliation rebate in 2021 and the extended affiliation fee freeze, we are pleased to provide this grant opportunity.  

We were overwhelmed with applications with many venues requiring assistance to support their delivery of safe and inclusive tennis playing opportunities. Priority was given to clubs requiring funding to make their playing spaces safe and accessible and to reduce risk to participants.
