Tennis Facility Planning Guide

There are over 5,500 tennis courts in Victoria with a broad range of surfaces, construction methods and maintenance techniques. Tennis Victoria’s Tennis Facility Planning Guide is the key resource for anyone in the tennis community looking to plan and develop tennis facilities.

The guide is full of advice, best practice information and uses everyday language for people without the technical and/or project management skills. Getting involved in the planning of facilities often results in a quality facility that is functional for players, committees and the community. Therefore the guide has a focus on planning to avoid issues whereby clubs and local government are left to deal with below standard tennis facilities.

The guide is a result of a partnership between Tennis Victoria and the state government through Sport and Recreation Victoria who provided crucial funding for the research and development of the guide. We encourage tennis clubs and councils to use the guide, and also consult Tennis Victoria, so that strong partnerships are built for the benefit of increasing community participation through the sport of tennis.
