Squash courts ready for play

30 JUNE 2015

There's a bounce in the step of local squash players with the newly refurbished courts at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga set to re-open tonight. The Rowlinson Squash Courts has been undergoing a $120,000 makeover to improve playability and longevity of the facility for students and the wider Wagga Wagga community. Wagga Wagga Squash Club members will resume their 2015 season tonight after formalising an agreement with CSU for use of the facility four nights a week. The partnership will continue until the end of the year. CSU Division of Facilities Management Executive Director Mr Stephen Butt said it's a model being considered as part of a review of the University's sport and recreation facilities at all campuses.  "Charles Sturt University is looking to maximise the benefit of our sporting and recreation facilities for staff, students and our broader communities. A major part of the review will be to investigate if there are opportunities to assist community-based sporting clubs, or other community groups, through using, or leasing, our facilities."  The refurbished courts will also be used during the 2015 Eastern University Games, hosted by CSU from July 5 to July 9. External parties interested in using CSU sport and recreation facilities should contact Mr Lee Mottee lmottee@csu.edu.au in Wagga or Mr Nik Granger ngranger@csu.edu.au for the other CSU locations.

Media Note:
Renovations of the Rowlinson Squash Courts include: new floor coverings, new grandstand in upper-level spectator area, court surface maintenance, minor renovations in bathrooms, lighting and heating upgrades and interior painting. Minor external works include lighting upgrades, new security screens on windows, construction of new entrance awning, landscaping and signage.  A contribution of $50,000 from the Student Services and Amenities Fee has helped cover the cost of the renovation.
