An elected Dutton Liberal Government will commit $450,000 towards the construction of a clubhouse for the Empire Bay Tennis and Community Club.
The new clubhouse will include secure equipment storage, a basic kitchen to support club and community events and shaded seating areas with direct viewing access to both courts.
Liberal candidate for Robertson Lucy Wicks said the new clubhouse would enhance shelter and amenity for players, volunteers and visitors alike, creating a welcoming hub for sport and social connection.
“This is a grassroots club doing incredible things for our community,” Wicks said.
“The club has grown its membership, earned state recognition and harnessed an inclusive culture for tennis lovers of all ages and backgrounds.
“The new clubhouse will ensure the club has the facilities it needs to continue growing.
“This is about working together to deliver a facility that meets the needs of a thriving club and a growing area.”
Empire Bay Tennis and Community Club President Alan Lovell said the club needed the facilities to match the spirit of participation it saw each day on its courts.
“This new clubhouse will be a great addition for Empire Bay,” he said.
“It will provide not just storage and shelter, but pride of place for everyone involved in the club, as well as the wider community.”
