The new Launceston Tennis, Community and Events Centre has moved a step closer, with the successful tenderer announced today.
Fairbrother Construction is set to undertake the redevelopment of the existing Northern Regional Tennis Centre, trasnforming it to a state-of-the-art tennis and multipurpose community facility.
“Having a centre that will provide a space for local tennis players and clubs, a hub for major tennis events and a multipurpose sport and community space, is important for our local community,” Deputy Premier Michael Ferguson said.
“This redeveloped centre will encourage more of our community to get active and children and young people to get involved in sport and recreational activities.”
The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with the Launceston International set to return soon after.
“I hope that competitors and visitors alike will enjoy the brand-new, world-class facilities for many years to come,” Ferguson said.
Tennis Tasmania General Manager Darren Sturgess said the organisation is excited for the development to begin and is looking forward to its completion.
“We’re thrilled to be able to confirm the return of the Launceston International in 2025, which will follow the Devonport Open and HCI Burnie International,” he said.
