Dear Members,

We are happy to share a positive update about the court closures following the incident on Sunday.

✅ Courts 1–6 Are Now Reopened

The City of Stonnington has completed its assessment and has provided formal clearance for the safe use of Courts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Members may now resume booking and playing on these courts.

❌ Courts 7–10 – Update Pending

Courts 7, 8, 9 and 10 remain closed at this time. We are still awaiting confirmation from the City of Stonnington regarding the structural integrity assessment and a potential reopening timeline for these courts.

Futures Tennis Clients

As advised by Futures earlier today, all Futures classes will be held at Sacre Coeur this afternoon and this evening (Tuesday 15 December).

Court Allocations and Bookings

Due to the current court closures, some adjustments have been made to court allocations for the remainder of the week. The Book-a-Court system is fully up to date, and members are asked to please check availability and make all bookings via this system to avoid confusion.

Please note that casual court hire for non-members is not available during this period.

Thank You for Your Patience

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritise the safety of all members and visitors at East Malvern Tennis Club.

We will issue a further update as soon as we receive definitive information regarding Courts 7–10.

Kind regards,
The East Malvern Tennis Club Committee
