Construction is set to commence in the coming fortnight on the redevelopment of the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre at Bolton Park.
It follows the successful completion of its recent demolition phase of the old tennis courts, internal fences, and clubhouse.
The comprehensive revitalisation of the centre forms Stage 1 of Wagga Wagga City Council’s planned wider upgrades to the Bolton Park precinct.
Contract Project Manager Matt Griffin said that this phase is expected to be completed in 10 months, weather permitting.
“The updated facility will include eight new acrylic courts, built to the same specifications as Melbourne Park,” Mr Griffin said.
“A further four community-size acrylic courts will be provided for training and competition purposes, while five sand-filled artificial Grass courts will also be provided for community use.
“A new clubhouse, with pro-shop, kiosk, and function room, will also be built, with a focus on accessibility.”
The project is funded by the NSW Government, Wagga Wagga City Council and Tennis NSW.
