NEW LOOK FOR UMINA TENNIS AND SPORTING CLUB
COURT 3 at the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club will be levelled and resurfaced with synthetic grass thanks to $19,446 in Community Building Partnership Program funding from the NSW Government.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP described the resurfacing project as great news for the tennis club and the community.
“It is a key priority for NSW Government programs such as the Community Building Partnership Program to promote community participation, inclusion and cohesion. Projects such as this one here in Umina in our tennis community will go a long way towards achieving positive social and recreational outcomes for our community,” she said.
“Congratulations to the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club for their successful application under the Community Building Partnerships Program.”
Ms Tesch said the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club has recently joined the ranks of a wide range of organisations and projects funded under the Program.
Umina Tennis and Sporting Club President Neil Packer said the upgrade of court 3 would transform the facility into something he described as world class, to the benefit of the wider sporting community.
“The funding will go towards the re-surfacing of court 3 which is badly in need of a new playing surface. Also, the successful grant will go a long way to assisting in the ongoing provision of both soccer and tennis at the club.
“By providing a first class facility it will benefit both adults and children of all ages in the community to pursue a healthy lifestyle.”
The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 19,700 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
