• Builds on WA Labor Government investment which helped deliver six courts for centre
• Project to bolster court capacity and facilities

This commitment is a contribution to Stage 2 of the project, whichbring the centre’s total court capacity to 10, as well as fund upgrades to floodlighting for all new and existing courts at the facility and provide perimeter fencing for a windbreak.

The funding builds on the WA Labor Government’s previous investment,which has delivered six courts as part of Stage 1 of the centre at the new facility at Centennial Park.

This investment is set to benefit Albany Tennis Club, which was formed in 2023 by the amalgamation of Lawley Park and Merrifield Park tennis clubs.

“This is a fantastic commitment to deliver more playing courts and infrastructure for the Albany Regional Tennis Centre."

“Local member Rebecca Stephens continues to work alongside Albany community groups to deliver important commitments like these.”

Comments attributed to Albany MLA Rebecca Stephens:

“I’ve been working with the Albany Regional Tennis Centre and being able to announce this commitment by a re-elected Cook Labor Government goes a long way to delivering the next phase of this community project."

“Investments in sport and community infrastructure, alongside our important commitments in health, housing, and community safety and our cost of living initiatives, is proof that only WA Labor has a vision for Albany, and a plan to deliver for the benefit of our community.”
