Severe flooding from Jamberoo Creek wreaked havoc on the Kevin Walsh Oval and the southern end of Jamberoo Tennis Club courts after the wild weather on 5-6 April.

The floods caused extensive damage to the courts and also the clubhouse. The President of the club, Bruce Roberton and Secretary, Bev Corfield warned members that the facility is likely to be closed for at least a month. 

Local tennis court specialist Mal Kessel inspected the courts, confirming significant water infiltration beneath the synthetic carpet, requiring major repairs. 

The cleanup effort saw the local fire brigade, club members and SES volunteers removing thick mud and silt from the courts. 

Jamberoo Rural Fire Service helped with the cleanup, dedicating seven personnel and their truck for over five hours to water blast mud and debris off the affected courts, requiring at least a half dozen trips to refill water tanks. 

The community has shown an incredible display in helping clear the debris and Jamberoo Tennis Club will be making a donation to JRFS and the club is asking for anyone willing and able to contribute to this fund, as it would be greatly appreciated. 

You can donate by EFT to the Jamberoo Tennis Club account (BSB:062 562 ac: 1008 6657) and reference JRFS  or by cash to one of the committee members.
