Crescent Head Country Club to deliver Tennis Precinct Project

The Crescent Head Country Club (CHCC) secured a state grant for a number of upgrades to the green keeper's shed and tennis clubhouse.

"The tennis precinct works are an important stage in the club's plans to provide sustainable, modern and accessible facilities that are inclusive," CHCC Secretary Manager Colan Ryan said.

The tennis clubhouse will change from two stories to one to be the same level as the tennis courts and to provide better disability access.

A new disability toilet and kitchen will also be added to the clubhouse with the new green keeper's shed coming with sustainable components including solar panels and tanked water.

An undercover outdoor area for social players is another feature of the works, which will also be used by the Kempsey Shire Council's mobile library van.

The upgrades are possible through $253,022 in funding from the NSW State Government Stronger Country Communities Fund as well as $50,000 from the Kempsey Shire Council.

CHCC Chairperson, Pam Bryant said improving members facilities has been an ongoing commitment from the Board of Directors.

"The Club's Board of Directors and Management has been able to coordinate with the NSW State Government, Kempsey Shire Council and Crown Lands for a tremendous outcome for our members and the wider community," she said.

"This is an example of working together for the best outcome for our community."

With work expected to take place in the coming weeks, clubgoers can expect some small changes to access.

A drain that is often used as a walkway to access the tennis precinct from the Crescent Head Holiday Park will be blocked.

Perimeter fencing to the worksite will prevent access from that area.

This isn't the only time this year that state funding has assisted with works at the CHCC.

The Building Better Regions fund is currently being used to partially fund the mini golf course and water system upgrades.
