Quotes attributable to Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant
"Sports like tennis are an integral part of community life and we're proud to invest in projects that get even more people active and on the court."
"The new pavilion and courts are a game-changer for local tennis. And with more women and girls signing up to play, the clubs no longer have to turn away players due to limited facilities."
"These upgrades are exactly what the Leopold and Barwon Heads tennis communities have been waiting for, and I can't wait to see the impact they will have on our local tennis scene."
