Diamond Creek Tennis Club has upgraded two courts to competition standard, which are now ready for players of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
Keen tennis players joined with councillors and Eltham MP Vicki Ward to mark the official opening of the new courts.
Mayor John Dumaresq said the court improvements will enable the Diamond Creek Tennis Club to flourish.
"This project represents a real investment in our local community and its wellbeing, and I'm proud to see it come to fruition," Cr Dumaresq said.
Ellis Ward Councillor Peter Perkins said the court upgrade is a boost for local tennis and Diamond Creek's ability to host competitive tournaments.
"The court improvements will bring benefits to locals and visitors to the club, and I thank the Victorian Government for its contribution in bringing this project to life," Cr Perkins said.
Works included the removal of the old surfaces, excavation and re-levelling, new asphalt bases with root barriers, improved drainage, upgraded fencing, and brand-new synthetic grass playing surfaces.
The $576,000 upgrade was the result of a joint initiative between the Victorian Government, which contributed $300,000, and Council, which invested $276,000.
