FAQ

Council, together with Tennis SA, will consult directly with clubs and the Glenelg Districts Tennis Association to assess the condition of courts, understand the health of clubs and consider how to best plan for the future. We will contact clubs soon with details of opportunities for community consultation.

A number of courts are in poor condition and some clubs are struggling to attract members. Council cannot afford to maintain all existing courts as well as we have in the past. Council wants increased community access and a sustainable program of court development. Council’s other objective is to increase the amount of court space available for netball.

Each facility will be reviewed and a plan developed after consulting with the club and Tennis SA.

Upgrades to Hallett Cove Beach Tennis Club and Clovelly Park courts are planned for the coming year. 

Council is reviewing its Lease Licence Policy, which will involve consultation with clubs.

Rents will be reviewed as part of the Lease Licence Policy, which will have a focus on sustainability for clubs and facilities in line with the four pillars of the Tennis SA Local Government Tennis Strategy. Clubs will be consulted before any decision is made.

The club will continue to operate as normal under the same terms and conditions of their existing lease until consultation is concluded and new leases are developed and approved.
