Funding confirmed for stadium redevelopment

Tennis Auckland are extremely happy with Auckland Councils decision today to approve funding for the redevelopment of the ASB Tennis Arena at Stanley Street, with $3 million confirmed for Stage 1A (redevelopment of the Yock Stand) and $2.5 million for Stage 1B (redevelopment of the Robinson Stand). As a result of this decision, delivery of Stage 1A will commence in 2019.

Tennis Auckland is committed to delivering our vision of making tennis a part of every Aucklander’s life, a goal which is supported directly by revenue derived from the delivery of the ASB Classic, held annually at the ASB Tennis Arena. The redevelopment of the ASB Arena helps us meet our license obligations to both WTA and ATP, and will allow Tennis Auckland to continue to deliver community and school based programmes throughout the Auckland region and supervise the upkeep of public facilities.

Tennis Auckland is currently reviewing the details of the funding grant and updating key stakeholders. Updates on the redevelopment project will be made in the coming weeks.
