Will all of the lines cause confusion when playing the sports?

    Line colours are selected to contrast from the court surface and depict the different sports. For example, the tennis courts will have white lines while the futsal will have yellow lines. In our experience, having linemarking for two sports on the one court works well. It is when you try to incorporate more than two sports on the one court that it becomes confusing.


    How will people set up the tennis net on the tennis/futsal court (particularly young and older people)?

    The tennis/futsal court will have removable futsal goals and a portable tennis net. The futsal goals will be secured and removed by Council staff at certain times of the year. The portable tennis net that we have selected is on wheels and easy to manoeuvre. The design of the courts will include an adjacent goal storage space within the fence for the storing of these items.

    Will the fences behind the futsal goals be damaged by the futsal balls being kicked towards them?

    The fencing at each end of the futsal/tennis court will be reinforced to prevent weakening or damage.

    Can we have at least one of the tennis courts with synthetic grass surface?

    Both the dedicated tennis court and the tennis/futsal court will be synthetic grass surface.


    Will the multipurpose linemarkings affect ball bounce?

    Acrylic lines and synthetic grass lines will not affect ball bounce.


    How do we change the netball/basketball goal posts?

    Council staff will change the goal posts based on the time of the year and the sporting demands (e.g. it may be set at basketball in summer and netball in winter, or just one end may be set at basketball).


    Will the courts be open for public use or will we have to hire them?

    Initially the courts will be unlocked and open for public use. We will monitor this approach and Council will adjust if required.

    Will the courts have lighting for night use?

    Lighting will be installed and subject to a fee for use arrangement.
