Federal Member for Ballarat, Catherine King recently visited Buninyong Community Tennis Club to welcome a grant of $59,600 through the federal Community Sports Infrastructure Grants program.
This grant will be used to upgrade the club’s court surfaces.
“Buninyong Community Tennis Club is an important part of the Buninyong sporting landscape”, Ms King said.
“These courts have seen a lot of wear and tear as the only tennis facilities in Buninyong available free to the general public.”
“All in the Buninyong community are able to come along and play at these courts, and now they will be up to the quality people deserve.”
“We know that upgrades like these are often out of reach of many community clubs, so it is important that this investment will allow the club to improve and grow.”
“I am excited to see the new courts get laid down and the enjoyment and improved play that they will bring to many in the Buninyong community”.
“Well done to all who were involved in securing the grant, and in particular David Ebbs who has given so much to the club”.
Club Treasurer, Allison Pearce said “as a local community tennis club, we are delighted to receive a significant grant through the federal Community Sports Infrastructure Grants Program.
“Our sincere thanks extend to the Hon. Catherine King in addition to our club President, David Ebbs.”
“Without David’s passion, enthusiasm and commitment to our club, this grant would not have been possible.”
