The restoration of Turondale’s aging tennis court is soon to commence thanks to $45,000 of funding from Council’s Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) with Squadron Energy, the company behind the Crudine Ridge Wind Project.
Upgrades are set to include a new court slab, upgraded net and perimeter fencing.
Acting Mayor, Cr Ben Fry, thanked Squadron Energy for supporting the development of the regions through this valuable funding.
“VPA funding has already brought the Wattle Flat Playground to life, delivered roof works at Sofala Community Hall, and upgrades to Wattle Flat Hall – and now, it’s set to reinvigorate a valued asset for the Turondale community.
“This investment will fund essential upgrades and transform a crumbling local landmark into a vibrant sporting hub for players and families of all ages,” said Cr Fry.
Crudine Ridge Wind Farm Site Operations Manager, Kacee Milnes, said it was great to see funds being directed to where they were most needed.
“We want to ensure the community is sharing in the benefits of Crudine Ridge Wind Farm, so seeing investment in areas to support local needs is key.
“The upgrade of the tennis courts at Turondale will help improve access to recreational facilities locally,” Ms Milnes said.
