Fence project update on timing!

Share this

The committee are very pleased to announce that we have raised over $142,500 to replace the fences on Courts 1-6.   Works on the fence replacement project are scheduled to begin on Jan 2 2024 and run throughout January. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!

After a successful submission to council, the MRSC has contributed the lions share so they are overseeing and running the project including appointing and managing the fence contractor.

A breakdown of the funds raised to date totalling $146,200 in order of receiving them:

$20,000 from Bendigo Bank (Community Bank Gisborne & District )

$80,000 from Macedon Ranges Shire Council

$15,000 from the National Court Rebate scheme (Tennis Australia)

$7500 from Great ((GREAT produces the Gisborne Gazette and runs the monthly market in Gisborne)

$23,700 that the club has in savings to contribute.

The work will commence over on or around Jan 2nd, 2024 with our goal for it to be complete before school and competitions start up again but this will be dependent on the contractor and the council. So there will be come interruptions to court access over the holiday break so please keep your eye on our Facebook page for updates.  Please be patient with your club while we manage the various stakeholders to get this done. There is no perfect time to do it but when there are no competitions or regular trainings on is the best time.
