Tennis Victoria today announces the venue for the Tennis Victoria Country Week for 2023.
The 2023 event was due to be held in Shepparton / Mooroopna and hosted by City of Greater Shepparton. However, Council advised that the recent floods have taken their toll on the temporary courts at Mooroopna and Council are unable to do the work to prepare them for the upcoming event.
Tennis Victoria has been working with other potential host clubs and councils to secure a venue for February 2023.
We are pleased to announce that the host venue for 2023 will be Yarrawonga Lawn Tennis Club together with Moira Shire and Yarrawonga Mulwala Tourism.
The event was last held in Yarrawonga in 2017, with matches played on courts at the Tennis Club, the neighboring JC Lowe Oval, Victoria Park and Stan Hargreaves Oval and will be the same again in 2023.
Tennis Victoria CEO Adam Crameri said ‘We are pleased to announce Yarrawonga as the 2023 Country Week venue and we appreciate the Yarrawonga Lawn Tennis Club, Moira Shire and Yarrawonga Mulwala Tourism support in offering to host the event at such short notice.
With 10 weeks to go until the event starts, this will be the shortest runway we have had for a Country Week event, but we are up for the challenge and grateful to all parties for making it possible.
We have been partners with Yarrawonga Mulwala Tourism for many years now and we are thrilled that they are supporting this event knowing the positive impact it will have on the community of Yarrawonga.
Over 1200 players will travel to Yarrawonga for 2023 Country Week and we look forward to delivering an event for them that they’ve come to love.”
Tennis Victoria would like to acknowledge and thank the Wodonga Tennis Centre and City of Wodonga who made themselves available to host the 2023 event if required.
Tennis Victoria Country Week 2023 will take place in Yarrawonga from Monday 13 February – Friday 17 February with the Welcome event on Sunday 12 February 2023. The 2024 event will go ahead as scheduled at the Wodonga Tennis Centre from 11-16 February 2024.
Registrations for the 2023 event are now open.
