The Club's relationship with UQ Sport has again been good this year and Club officials seem to have a good rapport with the relevant UQ Sport staff. Overall in 2001, the Club has been granted up to $43,146 by UQ Sport for fee subsidies, court hire subsidies, ball subsidies and administration subsidies.
Club officials have a close working relationship with the Tennis Centre staff over court bookings and the Club helps advertise all of the coaching programmes and ProShop promotions through the Centre's regular free column in the Club newsletter. However, the resignation of Peter Jung, the Tennis Centre Manager, has left a degree of uncertainty about how the Tennis Centre will be managed in the future as the position has remained unfilled since the end of July.
The decision by the University to introduce parking fees on week nights up to 9 p.m. has the potential to cause major problems for the Club with the BNTA. Although the charges were supposed to apply from January, the introduction of the fees was continually delayed until the beginning of Second Semester on 30 July. The exclusion of UQ from BNTA Fixtures could occur if a lot of visiting players get parking fines. Protests to the University have received no sympathy and it seems that the fees have been introduced specifically to collect revenue from night-time users of sporting facilities to help fund the new parking stations built by the University.
