Melbourne’s most prestigious tennis club has revealed a plan for a multimillion-dollar revamp that includes adding a roof to Kooyong Stadium in a bid to host more sport and live music events.

The Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club announced on Thursday that it would buy Vision Australia’s property opposite the club’s Glenferrie Road home as part of a centenary master plan.

The club said the 1.6-hectare Vision Australia site – believed to be worth more than $50 million – could be redeveloped to add 10 new hard courts, a wellness centre, padel courts and pickleball facilities.

The concept design also featured a new roof over centre court, which previously hosted the Australian Open and is still used for the Kooyong Classic in the lead-up to the summer grand slam event now at Melbourne Park.
