The early stage of phase two construction has started at the Domain Tennis Centre.
Construction will see two new permanent stands built on the eastern and western sides of centre court.
The finished project will add 2000 public seats with some shade areas and follows the construction of the corporate and media stand completed in late 2009.
“It’s fantastic to once again see the builders on site,” Tournament Director Michael Roberts said.
“For years now spectators at the Moorilla Hobart International have had to sit on concrete and wooden benches but now they will have proper stadium seating, some with shade.”
The $3.45 million redevelopment is being funded by the State Government and is scheduled to be complete by late November this year, ensuring the public are treated to brand new, first class facilities at Moorilla Hobart International in January 2011.
