Building the Education Revolution
Court Craft is involved in the design and construction of covered outdoor learning areas (COLA) and covered walkways within many schools across Sydney for the BER Nation Building Programme. These projects are at various stages of construction with some schools already at completion. Court Craft has been assigned to construct these structures at approximately 40 schools.
Cairns Regional Tennis Facility
Court Craft is currently constructing 12 Plexicushion tennis courts and 4 miniature Plexipave tennis courts for Cairns Regional Council in partnership with the Queensland Department of Sport and Recreation and Tennis Queensland. Further works include the construction of shade structures, the facilities car park and a significant landscaping package. This project is due for recreational use in August this year. Commencement is due for the application of Plexicushion on the first block of three courts.
Prince Alfred Park
Court Craft has recently completed the installation of Plexicushion tennis courts at Prince Alfred Park. Work is soon to commence on the installation of Plexipave to the basketball courts. The installation of both these surfaces provides the local community with a world class facility.
John Fisher Park
Court Craft partnered with Warringah Council in the construction of 10 new Plexipave netball courts and the resurfacing of 15 existing netball courts. This site presented a number of challenges as the facility was constructed over an old tip site. Work was completed in late 2009 much to the delight of Manly Warringah Netball Association.
Mounties Netball Club
Court Craft have been selected for the refurbishment of the Mounties Netball Club. These works will take place early in the new year and involve asphalt repair works, asphalt over sheeting and the installation of the Plexipave netball system. This will result in a safer facility for competitive and recreational netball at Mounties Netball Club.
Cairns Regional Tennis Facility
Work is continuing for the construction of the new tennis facility at Cairns. Court Craft is proud to be involved in this exciting project. 12 new International Tennis Federation standard courts will be constructed including a show court. For information on the development click here. These courts will be surfaced with the Plexicushion Presitige surface.
The Sydney 2009 World Masters Games
The 2009 tournament will be played on the Plexicushion Presitige surface at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre. As the world largest multi-sport event and open to most ages the World Masters Games offers exciting and challenging competition.
Court Craft Plexipave Night Interdistrict
The 2009 Court Craft Night Interdistrict competition will begin on Wednesday 30 September 2009. 58 teams, 100 umpires and over 650 players were involved in the 2008 competition. We wish every player the best of luck in the 2009 season.
Further information can be found at Netball NSW.
Nambucca Shire Council
The construction of 6 netball courts for Nambucca Shire Council has been completed. These courts at Macksville in northern New South Wales were surfaced with the Plexipave system.
Newington College Resurfacing
Court Craft have recently completed resurfacing works at Newington College. The 6 existing championship sized tennis courts were resurfaced with the Plexicushion Prestige system, and another 2 were resurfaced with the Plexipave system. The Plexicushion surfaced courts have a "cushioned acrylic" surface, designed to increase shock absorption in the court itself and reduce player fatigue. The surface is firm and uniform, therefore players are able to play on the surface not in it.
National Court Rebate Scheme
Tennis Australia has launched a multi-million dollar court rebate scheme. The tiered-level funding had been designed in order to support Tennis Australia's surface policy.
Funding is available for base preparation and development, lighting, surface or resurfacing, fencing, water saving and ancillary items.
If you require assistance, please contact the Community Tennis team at Tennis Australia on (03) 9914 4000.
Forms and further information is available here

Tennis NSW has selected Plexicushion to be installed at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre at Homebush which is the home of Tennis NSW. The work involved the removal of the existing surface, base preparation, asphalting and the installation of Plexicushion to all 16 courts.

This project had very high community support and was funded through a partnership between Snowy Hydro, State government, Local Government and the Netball Association.

Baulkham Hills Shire Netball Association
This complex comprises 33 bitumen based courts. 32 courts were constructed in 1991 and the 33rd court (No 33) was constructed in 1994. The courts are constructed on top of the old Kellyville tip. The fill depth ranges from 0m-15m. The site was a general purpose landfill with all kinds of waste deposited. Varying rates of differential settlement is occurring over all courts and will continue into the future. Starting in February 2004, Court Craft was contracted to demolish 7 of these courts and reconstruct. This process involved deep compaction, import of fill, grading, paving, new posts and Plexipave surfacing with netball line marking.

The surface will provide a consistent, grippy surface for the area for many years to come. Installed over a new Asphalt base, the surface has been specially formulated for netball, and will allow for optimum performance from players who can feel assured that they will remain sure footed at all times.

The Kooroora Tennis Club have recently taken possession of 6 new synthetic grass tennis courts installed by Court Craft as part of the re-development of their club in Roseville. Court Craft were chosen only after an exhaustive selection process to ensure the club not only got the best value for money, but also a builder that would deliver them a facility of the highest quality that would last well into the future. The courts have settled in well, and Court Craft is currently finishing work on the car park area as an extension of the original contract.

Newington College Reconstruction
Court Craft has recently completed a million dollar re-construction of the tennis courts at Sydney's Newington College. After servicing the old courts for a number of years, the school finally gave the go-ahead for the upgrade which saw the main court block reconfigured from 8 courts to 6 championship size courts, and 2 new recreational courts built on the other side of the school. The courts are all surfaced with Plexicushion Grand prix system, which is an internationally approved surface and ideal for your growing bodies with a special rubber cushioning layer to protect from jarring. Court Craft undertook a broad spectrum of work from the construction of large retaining walls through to suspended concrete slabs, decking, pavilions and of course the court surfacing.
Since completing this construction Court Craft has completed a re-construction of the junior school playground.

Pennant Hills Hockey
Court Craft has recently completed constructing Sydney's latest hockey field for the Northern Districts Hockey Association at Pennant Hills Park. The field was built on a tight budget, but was still able to be built to international standards with a recognised "wet" field playing surface, lights and irrigation system. Some 5 years in the planning, the field features some unique innovations brought about from Court Craft's experience in full constructions of these types of facilities, and has saved the association much additional fundraising along the way. The field was completed in September 2002.
