TENNIS PLAYERS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT WITH STATE GOVERNMENT GRANT

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said a $25,266 NSW Government grant will shine a light on the achievements of players at Westside Tennis Club.

Mr Singh said the funding, under the Community Building Partnership Program, will help the club to undertake an important lighting upgrade.

“The club successfully applied for funds for its Let There Be LED Light 2020 project and I am extremely pleased the State Government is able to provide this support,” Mr Singh said.

“The club can now proceed with its plans to supply and install 10 state-of-the-art LED lights while upgrading six existing light poles to allow the fitting of new LED lights for courts five and six.

“Westside Tennis Club is a popular and well-used facility in Coffs Harbour, and I congratulate the hardworking committee and all the members on this exciting news.

“They are highly regarded for their programs and competitions which cater for all ages and all abilities, encouraging people to be active.

“The club is particularly proud of its strong and positive involvement in our community, and I wish them well as they continue to grow.”

The Community Building Partnership Program provides grassroots funding for local organisations to improve their facilities, in turn creating a more vibrant and inclusive community.

This program has funded more than 15,000 community projects statewide since it started in 2009.
