All Projects
Frankston East Tennis Club
This is another very successful project for the City of Frankston. This project was brought about by the combination of 2 tennis clubs requiring a facility that could cater for a much bigger membership base. The whole building was completely transformed internally to provide a very modern facility incorporating a large multi-purpose area, a commercial kitchen and bar as well as change rooms, public toilets, a meeting room, a store and a small Pro-Shop. The external spaces were also upgraded as well and the new membership have left with a very high quality tennis club facility.
