■ New court lighting is to be provided at Seymour Tennis Complex. And there is to be new arena lighting and a roof cover at the Kings Park Equestrian Arena. Ros Spence, Minister for Community Sport, joined Mitchell Shire Council and club members at both venues last week to announce the new facilities that are backed by a $265,000 investment from the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund. At the Seymour Tennis Centre, the additional lighting for the four previously unlit courts means locals can enjoy a hit of tennis after dark. The new 500 lux LED lighting meets competition standards, opening up opportunities for more competitions on home soil. The investment will support the 60 members of the club as well as the growing ranks of juniors taking up the game, with the new lights making it easier to host programs for juniors such as Hot Shots Tennis.

The project has also delivered accessible toilet facilities so people no longer need to use the public toilets outside the venue. Mitchell Shire Council has contributed more than $250,000 to support delivering upgrades at both venues. “These new upgrades are a real boost to a sport loving community – they are delivering world class facilities that will allow people to

Jaclyn Symes, MLC for Northern Victoria, said: "Improving sports infrastructure in communities like Seymour enhances the town's liveability and brings people together so everyone can participate in the sports they love close to home."
