Some heritage value, but not essential to an understanding of the district. Recommend that the place is not included on the Town Planning Scheme at this time. Re-assess the significance of the place when the Inventory is regularly reviewed. Assess in more detail when considering a development application. Record the place prior to redevelopment or demolition. This category is not included in the Town Planning Scheme, and therefore a planning application is not required for proposed development or demolition of the place. Should a building or demolition application be received by Shire, it should be considered on the basis of the recognised heritage value, and the owner offered the same consultation facilities as for the Town Planning Scheme. The places in this category should be reviewed regularly with consideration for inclusion in the Town Planning Scheme.

History

The first Hyden Tennis Club was formed on 30 April 1939,
when 30 people met and formed a committee of 8 people to organise the construction of 3 clay courts.
The courts were opened on 2 December 1939. During the 1940/41, season they joined with Holt Rock,
Kondinin and Bendering on the social tennis circuit. During the war, the club went into recess from 1942
to 1944. In 1949, professional coaching clinics were held, and many busy bees during the 1950s
resulted in the continual upgrading of the court surfaces and club facilities. In 1957, two new courts were
built, and in 1959, a pavilion was constructed, and opened in January 1960. In 1969, the club affiliated
with the WALTA. In 1977, the original club rooms were demolished to make way for 8 new courts which
were opened on 12 November 1977. The new courts prompted the idea of a new club house and
voluntary labour constructed the club rooms which were officially opened by TA Lynch, the first
President, on 15 October 1978. On 27 October 1996, extensions to the club house were opened by
Gwen Walton, a life member of long standing.
