Sod Turning for Jim Elphick Tennis Centre
12 March 2024
Monarch Building Solutions is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the design and construct contract for the new Jim Elphick Tennis Centre in Wagga Wagga.
The tennis centre will serve as the new hub for several local tennis clubs and will also host regional and national competitions. When completed, the facility will feature:
eight International Tennis Federation cushioned acrylic hard courts
two warmup cushion acrylic hard courts
five synthetic grass community courts
two multi-use netball courts
clubhouse with amenities and a spectator viewing area.
A commemorative sod-turning held on Monday marked the beginning of construction for Wagga Wagga’s Jim Elphick Tennis Centre – and the commencement of stage one of re-development for the Bolton Park Sports Hub.
The event was attended by representatives from Wagga Wagga City Council, Tennis NSW, Office of Sport, Wagga Wagga Tennis Association and representatives of the local First Nations, sporting and broader communities.
