Home Hill Tennis is excited to announce that the upgraded amenities block is nearing completion and will soon be officially opened. What started as a simple idea has become a reality through dedicated planning, hard work, and strong community support. The project took a major step forward in 2023 when the club secured a $250,000 grant from the Queensland Government to upgrade the amenities, enabling Queenslanders to participate in sport and recreation activities.
Careful consideration went into designing the new facilities to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, including septic tanks, soakage pits, and electrical switchboards, while also meeting modern standards. The upgraded amenities block now features a wheelchair-accessible shower, toilet, and baby change room, a separate shower, a cleaner’s room, a storeroom, and a bank of five new toilets, including an ambulant toilet.
Funding for the project was provided by the club itself, along with contributions from Tennis Queensland and Tennis Australia. Additionally, privacy screens designed by artist Jane Hawkins and manufactured locally by Michael Blakey were incorporated into the building. This aspect of the project received partial funding through a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant, a partnership between the Queensland Government and the Burdekin Shire Council aimed at supporting local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
The official opening, conducted by Dale Last MP, will take place at 7:45 am on Saturday, 3rd May, coinciding with the start of the iconic Sugar Bowl event. Everyone is welcome to attend and view the new facilities.
