Following our recent Tennis Forum, we're keen to hear your feedback and views on the state of tennis across the municipality. Your feedback will help us understand what’s working well and where there are opportunities to grow and improve. This short survey is a chance to share your ideas, concerns, and suggestions to help shape the future of tennis in our area.
Whitehorse City Council acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Please note that you can browse any publicly accessible sections of this website anonymously, without disclosing your personal information.

To the extent that this data could identify you, Council will not attempt to identify individuals from the records automatically generated by the server unless necessary to investigate a breach of law or regulation.
Cookies are used on our site, but they do not collect any personal information. For the most part, they are session-based and only contain system-generated values to identify the user's session for statistical and system administration purposes. We collect data and information through a combination of Google Analytics, server logs, and tools within the functionality of the site, using data security protocols.
If you choose to respond to forum questions, we require a username and an email address. Only your username will be visible to other participants when they view responses.
We recommend you use an anonymous username if you do not want your real name to be visible on the website with forum comments, stories, or questions.
By providing an email address, you help us protect the integrity of the discussion from individuals and groups who may attempt to unduly influence the outcomes of the consultation process. For example, we check the database to ensure each user has a single email account on the site. We also frequently review the site for trolls and spammers.
How will we use and disclose your information?
Your information is used to:
