An Advantage for Mungindi

The final layer of asphalt has been laid forming the playing surface of the new multipurpose courts and vibrant line marking has been completed for the community of Mungindi ahead of the October long weekend to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mungindi Tennis.

Tennis has long been a regular social gathering for the community from tournaments like the Murphy and Bingham Cup to social tennis games.

Netball enthusiasts and local school children will also have the opportunity to play outdoors on the new high-quality multipurpose courts, which will serve as a vital hub for community engagement, health, youth and intergenerational connections.

Director of Infrastructure John Dyer is delighted to announce the completion of the courts, “It has been a priority to rebuild this vital community asset and we are delighted to have completed stage one of the project, for all to enjoy”.

The multipurpose courts consist of four tennis courts and two netball courts, with stage two comprising the installation of permanent fencing, final landscaping and a Tennis Australia compliant playing surface will be laid (weather conditions permitting).

Council would like to thank the Mungindi community for their patience and the countless volunteers who have assisted us in delivering the project.

The majority of work was completed by local contractors, creating local job opportunities and long-lasting benefits is what the Federal Government is proud to support.

The project has been delivered under the following Federal Government funding, Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 3 (SCCF3) grant of $208,780.00 and Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program Round 2 (LRCI2) grant of $300,000.00.
