The City of Canning agreed to give the Bentley club $860,000 to help them relocate, and build six new artificial lawn courts and two hard courts next to the South Perth club to accommodate the arriving members.

Mr Reynolds said the City would not lose money over the relocation of the club as the sale of the site would pay for the move.
He said it would be better for members of both clubs to have one big facility instead of two smaller ones. The club is expected to move to its new location by July.
