November 2024 - Veolia Mulwaree Trust Grant Awarded to BTC for Viewing Deck

Bundanoon Tennis Club has been awarded a grant of $7,000 from Veolia. The grant is to be used to fund part of the cost of building a viewing deck adjacent to the clubhouse. The deck will enable families to watch their children being coached and allow families and friends to participate as spectators during club championships and social tennis events.   Committee members, Patrick Fitzgerald and Bev Steeden, attended the grant presentation event in November and were impressed by the extent of Veolia's support for local communities such as ours.
