Maroondah City Council was one of 15 to be recognised at the 2022 Victorian Tennis Awards last week.

The council received the Supporting Tennis – Local Government Award for its commitment to tennis facilities and access in the outer eastern government area on Thursday 27 October.

“We were honoured to have received the Local Government Award at the Victorian Tennis Awards held last night at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club,” the council posted to social media.

Tennis Victoria commended Maroondah City Council on social media as “Always supportive of our sport, our strategy and our clubs” making it “the deserving winner of the Local Government Award”.

The Victorian Tennis Awards, run by Tennis Victoria, align with the Australian Tennis Awards and winners with a national category are now eligible to be nominated for the 2022 Newcombe Medal (The Australian Tennis Awards).

Tennis Victoria CEO Adam Crameri was thrilled with recognising the award winners and finalists in front of the Victorian tennis community.

“Congratulations to all finalists and to the winners of the 2022 Victorian Tennis Awards. We had incredible nominations put forth by the Victorian tennis community and being able to recognise the finalists and winners tonight was an honour,” he said.
