After seven years of advocacy, the Riddells Creek Tennis Club have unveiled three new hardcourts on Sutherlands Road.
Although the courts were officially completed in April 2020, the club was finally able to unveil the new facilities on Saturday, with club members, sponsors and advocates in attendance.
The project has been jointly funded by a number of sources, including the state and federal governments, Macedon Ranges council, Tennis Australia and the Gisborne & District Community Bank.
Riddells Creek Tennis Club president Fiona Walker said having support from all levels of government made the arrival of the new tennis courts in the area all the more special.
“The club has already started to see the benefits of having the new courts,” Ms Walker said.
“Club memberships have been growing steadily since the courts were built and there has been an increase in competition between players and teams.”
Ms Walkers said that increased engagement had allowed the club to host the Macedon Ranges Tennis Association junior competition grand final.
“The club are hoping that by doubling the size of the venue, it will set the club up for a very exciting and prosperous future,” she said.
