Work has begun on the Kingaroy Tennis Club’s new amenities block which is being erected beside the courts complex in Oliver Bond Street.
The all-inclusive facility will include an accessible bathroom with a shower and toilet, as well as four more toilets and another shower.
Kingaroy and District Tennis Association grants co-ordinator Mieke Elder said the association was very grateful to receive a $197,000 Minor Infrastructure and Inclusive Facilities Fund grant from the Department of Tourism and Sport for the project.
This was topped up with $49,000 from the club’s own funds and $3000 support from the South Burnett Regional Council.
The modern building replaces an old building which was removed due to concerns about asbestos.
“This project will make a huge difference for our players and visitors,” Mieke said.
“With the new amenities, we’ll be able to welcome more players, families and community members, and host larger tournaments and events.
“It also supports our partnership with Mr B’s Professional Coaching which delivers inclusive tennis programs and classes that encourage participation for people of all abilities.”
Mieke said local builders and trades were being used wherever possible.
The building is being constructed by R&F Steel Buildings in Kingaroy and Fiedler Brothers is handling the plumbing.
The club hopes to have the building finished by the end of December with an official opening scheduled for the New Year.
