Why this petition matters

Started by Sharen Micallef

Sutherland Shire Council is proposing Tennis coaches will incur a 21% increase in court hire for Financial Year 2021/22. Councils costs in running the courts has decreased by implementing an online booking system and no longer paying booking officers .This role  is widely now performed by Coaches as we are contactable by signage at the courts and responsible for keeping the courts operational and presentable. 

When compared to other Local Government Areas across Sydney Sutherland Shire Council are proposing to charge us 42% above the average court hire rates for coaches. Majority of other sports in Sutherland council have a discount rate or Juniors/concession but want us to pass on higher costs for Junior tennis coaching. 

We want to let Council know that the broader community support the local tennis coaches and value the service we provide to them and the wider community.

Please support our cause and help the tennis community remain viable and available to majority of families in the Sutherland Shire.
