The next stage of the programme of upgrades to the Wellington Renouf Tennis Centre will commence late January, with the replacement of the roof on the Main Building to occur over four months through to mid-May 2021. Although the aim is to keep the centre operating as business as usual where possible, we do appreciate that some groups may be inconvenienced. This is a very exciting and significant re-roofing project for the centre and we thank you for your co-operation in ensuring the project is completed as quickly as possible for the benefit of all, both now and future years.
The works have been scheduled in such a way to ensure most courts should remain usable at peak times, with generally only one court not available at times each day. Please note that this means some regular court bookings, on occasion, may either need to be moved to other available indoor courts, moved to outside courts or cancelled for that particular week. The proposed works schedule for each of the courts has been loaded to ClubSpark, shown as a 'maintenance' booking so that your bookings can not be made on the court(s) that are anticipated to be below the work area.
Although we have already blocked courts in ClubSpark for the anticipated scheduled maintenance it is important to note that due to the nature of the project and weather during this period there may be times where we may need to further restrict courts to allow for timely completion. We will endeavour to continue to accommodate your needs as best we can and provide ample notice of any changes to your group. We do appreciate that this may inconvenience some groups and we thank you for your patience.
Please also note for health and safety reasons fencing will be established on the courts that can not be used on a particular day. Please do not move any of this fencing and do not attempt to retrieve any balls that go into the fenced areas. Please approach staff who can liaise with the builders and retrieve balls safely.
The commencement of the works on the roof follows the completion of two other projects during 2020. The lighting upgrade on all six indoor courts was followed by the upgrade of the changing rooms and toilets. Practical completion on the changing rooms was achieved in mid-December, so that project is currently in its defects period. If you identify anything that could be considered a defect when using the changing rooms over the coming months, please let one of the Tennis Central team know so that we can have all defects addressed.
Given the limited court availability at the centre over the coming months, if you are planning on booking courts during this time it would be advisable to make your bookings early.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch with one of the Tennis Central Team.
