Better lighting for tennis
BETTER lighting is on the way for the Atherton Tennis Club after the group got the green light from Tablelands Regional Council to install four new LED lights on one of its courts.
The project for the Vernon Street facility will cost $12,232 and will be fully funded by the club.
Currently, three of the four courts at the Vernon Street facility are lit, but the club needs lights for the fourth court to reduce wait times for players.
According to a report to council, the club has reached maximum capacity for its Monday night fixtures competition, and the new lights will enable the club to expand its fixtures competition on Monday and Thursday nights.
The club currently has 50 members but they are expecting this number to increase.
