After a brief construction adjournment, the courts are back in session at the Traralgon South Recreation Reserve.
Tennis players and netballers have returned to a suite of new and improved facilities at the popular sporting facility following a series of upgrades funded by the State Government via the Latrobe Valley Authority and Latrobe City Council. The project entailed a full reconstruction of courts one and two, while courts three and four were repaired and resurfaced, elevating the facility to modern standards.
