From Romsey to Rod Laver Arena: Local tennis wins big through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme

Romsey Tennis Club has served up a major win – not just on the court, but through their commitment to sustainability and fundraising.

As the top-performing club in a recent competition ran by Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme and Tennis Victoria, four players were rewarded with an unforgettable experience: attending the Australian Open Men’s Singles Final and receiving an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.

Romsey Tennis Club has raised over $1,800 to date since Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme launched in November 2023, with more than 18,000 eligible drink containers returned through the scheme. The funds have supported much-needed updates of three ageing courts. With more work to be done, the club is now fundraising to replace its two final courts.
