Tennis club receives grant to resurface court
Court 3 at the Umina Tennis Club will be levelled and resurfaced with synthetic grass thanks to $19,446 in Community Building Partnership Program funding from the NSW Government.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch described the resurfacing project as great news for the tennis club and the community-at-large.
"Projects such as this one here in Umina in our tennis community will go a long way towards achieving positive social and recreational outcomes for our community."
Ms Tesch said the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club had recently joined the ranks of a wide range of organisations and projects funded under the program.
"It is so rewarding to see so many wonderful initiatives happening right here in our community."
Club president Mr Neil Packer said the upgrade of court three would transform it into a "world class" facility.
"The funding will go towards re-surfacing court three which is badly in need of a new playing surface.
"Also, the successful grant will go a long way to assisting in the ongoing provision of both soccer and tennis at the club."
