DEMOLITION works have begun at Bayswater Tennis Club’s 80-year-old clubrooms after Bayswater Council approved a tender for the club’s $1.4 million redevelopment project this month.

The council also voted to consider an allocation of $134,710 during the first budget review in the 2017-18 financial year for any unforeseen works, variables or expenditure that might occur during construction.
