The Tennis Court opening and barbecue was well attended with the mandatory cutting of a ribbon and many locals, including our Mayor, displaying their prowess upon the pristine tarmac.

The refurbishment of the tennis court was a project of the Jim Crow Planning Group with funding and support from Hepburn Shire Council and the State Government.

The court is always open and available for use. It is marked for Tennis, basketball and netball.
