Netball and tennis players rejoice as QEC outdoor courts resurface begins

The Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) is set to begin resurfacing six outdoor courts at Queenstown Events Centre using a high-performance material designed to enhance player safety and performance.

The project will require the temporary closure of the courts from 10 February to 27 March. The courts will reopen to the public on 3 April, offering a state-of-the-art playing surface for the community.

QLDC Community Venues Team Leader, Deborah Husheer, said it’s a much-needed upgrade to ensure the facilities meet the demands of our growing community.

“We’re excited for our outdoor courts to be resurfaced and I’m sure all netball, tennis and outdoor sport enthusiasts will be looking forward to it too. The surface will be Rebound Ace HSA – a dedicated sport surface that is a huge upgrade from the current concrete.”

“This upgrade ensures our facilities keep up with the demands of community sport and we want to thank everyone for their patience while the work is being done.”

Rebound Ace HSA has been chosen as it provides excellent shock absorption, reducing the risk of injury and improving playability. This upgrade reflects QLDC’s commitment to providing top-tier facilities for residents and visitors.
