Geelong's sporting landscape is about to undergo a massive transformation as construction crews prepare to break ground on the highly anticipated $26.5 million Regional Tennis Centre masterplan. This landmark project promises to establish the region as a premier tennis destination for players of all levels.
A Game-Changing Facility for the Region
The comprehensive redevelopment will see the current facility at 35 Queens Park Road evolve into a state-of-the-art tennis complex featuring 22 courts, including 16 brand new playing surfaces. The centre will boast a mix of eight plexipave hard courts and eight European red clay courts, providing diverse playing experiences for enthusiasts.
World-Class Amenities and Features
Beyond the courts, the centre will feature cutting-edge facilities including modern LED lighting for night play, extensive car parking, and a two-storey pavilion with premium amenities. The design incorporates player-friendly amenities, spectator viewing areas, and administrative spaces to support both recreational play and major tournaments.
Economic and Community Benefits
This significant investment represents more than just sporting infrastructure—it's a boost for the entire Geelong community. The project is expected to create numerous construction jobs and, once completed, will attract regional tournaments and visiting players, providing economic benefits to local businesses.
Partnership Driving Progress
The ambitious project is a collaborative effort between Tennis Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong, and the Victorian Government. This partnership demonstrates a shared commitment to enhancing regional sporting facilities and promoting active lifestyles across the community.
Construction is scheduled to proceed in carefully planned stages to minimise disruption to existing court users, with completion expected to position Geelong as a must-visit destination for tennis enthusiasts throughout Victoria and beyond.
