Jim Elphick Tennis Centre prepares to enter final stages

21 February 2025

Match point is nearing at the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre as the upgrade enters its final stages in anticipation of the site’s grand opening, currently scheduled for mid-April 2025, weather permitting.

Contractors – seen here applying the base coat to what will eventually be international standard courts – are busy preparing the acrylic surfaces for application of the final two-tone blue Australian Open surface.

The eight International Tennis Federation (ITF) championship cushioned acrylic hard courts will ensure the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre be able to host ITF-level events.

Meanwhile, synthetic turf courts are already complete, with sand swept in and nets installed.
