It is an A$82 million tennis facility opened on 2 January 2009[6] at the site of the demolished Tennyson Power Station.

[7] It was designed by internationally recognised stadium designers HOK Sport Venue Event and The Mirvac Group's in-house architectural practice, HPA Pty Ltd[8] and constructed by Mirvac as part of the Tennyson Riverside development.

The main court was designed to incorporate a PTFE glass fibre fabric roof.

The light weight of the fabric also reduced the amount of steel required and saved on building costs.

Brisbane-based company MakMax Australia (Taiyo Membrane Corporation) supplied and installed this roof along with other smaller outdoor structures at this venue.
