Huskisson Reserve sporting facilities upgrade

Huskisson Reserve is home to the West Lalor Tennis Club, which has about 500 active members and is one the largest tennis clubs in the City of Whittlesea. 

The club provides programs for juniors, men, women, people with disabilities, First Peoples and more than 700 children through a school partnership. 

The redevelopment will help the West Lalor Tennis Club to attract new members and increase opportunities for community members to play via Tennis Australia’s book-a-court system. 

The tennis court redevelopment will consist of two en-tout-cas courts, four clay courts, sports lighting and two acrylic pickleball/Hot Shots courts.

The new community pavilion will consist of multipurpose spaces, a kitchen, meeting room, first aid room, change rooms and storage for club and community groups. 

The pavilion will feature a number of sustainability features, including water tanks to save water, energy-efficient LED sports lighting, a solar photovoltaic system and double-glazed windows. 

The new facility will provide Council and football and cricket clubs with a suitable overflow venue.
