Tennis Court Hire

Please note that your booking PIN will take at least 30 minutes to activate once you have made your booking online. If you can, book at least 30 minutes before you want to access the courts.

Once the player receives their PIN, it will be valid from 15 minutes prior to the start of their booking time and expire 15 minutes after the end of their booking time. The PIN will not open the gate outside of these times.

For example, if you’re booking is from 7 to 8pm, your booking can be used anytime between 6:45pm and 8:15pm.

When you enter your PIN, you will need to listen carefully for the beeps of the PIN Pad. A valid PIN entry will be confirmed by two short beeps. If your PIN is not valid or has been entered incorrectly, you will hear one long tone. The pin pad light should also turn green after a valid booking PIN has been successfully entered.

Yes. The PIN must be entered in the first 15 minutes to activate the lights when you arrive, even if the lights are already on and/or the gate is unlocked.

There may be time where your lights have unexpectedly turned off. If your booking is still valid and lights are still required, simply re-enter your booking PIN at the gate and the lights automatically turn back on provided there is still time remaining for the booking.

Note: You may need to allow for the lights to cool down / warm up.

There is no additional payment required for lights. Provided you have entered your PIN at the start of your booking and it is dark enough outside, the lights on your court will automatically turn on. The system monitors the light level and ensures there is enough light to play.

Cancellation must be managed online, 24 hours prior to your bookings to qualify for a refund.

Please notify Council via email within 24 hours of your bookings to qualify for a refund.
