GILLARD GOVERNMENT DELIVERS $566,901 TO IMPROVE LOCAL FACILITIES IN HOLT
Federal Member for Holt Anthony Byrne MP has today officially opened the refurbished courts at Endeavour Hills Tennis Club.
The existing clay courts needed regular irrigation, and due to water restrictions in the region 50% of the courts could not be maintained to an appropriate standard.
‘I am delighted that the facilities at the Endeavour Hills Tennis Club can now be utilised to their full capacity’ Mr Byrne said today.
‘The courts are significantly lower maintenance and will also save the Club money in terms of ongoing maintenance and water costs. The new surface is far more environmentally friendly and can be used in all weather conditions, whereas the old surface could be washed out quite easily.’
‘This area is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, and this investment is a great example of how the Commonwealth Government and the City of Casey have worked collaboratively for the benefit of the community’ said Mr Byrne.
Six jobs were created in resurfacing the 17 existing tennis courts across the City of Casey Local Government Area.
The funding was provided from the Gillard Government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.
