Tennis courts upgraded

Upgrades to the Galvin Park in Werribee are complete.

The project, valued at $1.5 million, has delivered a complete rebuild of courts one to four, which had been significantly impacted by tree root damage and had become increasingly unplayable.

Courts five to eight were also resurfaced and received new fencing and lighting, enhancing both functionality and safety for evening use.

In addition, the walkway between the courts was upgraded with a new concrete path, and a water fountain was installed to provide greater convenience for players and visitors.

Meanwhile, a new book-a-court system will make it easier for Werribee Central Tennis Club members and the public to access the facilities.

These works were the final piece of the Galvin Park master plan implementation, which also delivered a redevelopment of soccer pitches, football ovals, netball courts and added more parking.

Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said the tennis court redevelopment was a game-changing upgrade.

“This significant investment reinforces a commitment to local sport and community wellbeing, and ensures Galvin Park remains a premier destination for tennis in the region,” she said.

“The rebuilt and resurfaced courts ensure the Werribee community have safe and high-quality playing surfaces for years to come, while new lighting, landscaping and other amenities allow for increased use of these fantastic courts.”
