A DRAFT tennis action plan has been released for public exhibition – outlining a series of recommendations for courts and clubs around Frankston.
Council’s draft plan recommends that the total number of courts in Frankston be reduced from 78 to 70. It is also recommended that more than $14.9 million be spent on improving tennis facilities throughout the municipality in the next decade.
When debating sending the plan out for consultation, Cr Steven Hughes took issue with the amount which is proposed to be spent on pavilions compared to courts. “$10 million out of $15 million we will spend on just pavilions,” he said. “We need to find savings.”
The plan will be publicly exhibited for six weeks. A report is expected to come back to council in May.
