"We're building something similar to what's at Napier Oval with three male and three female toilets, as well as a disabled, except we'll have two toilets and a shower facility in each," she said.
The current toilet block suffers from pest and bird intrusion as well as continual costs to Blayney council.
"During winter the pipes often burst and unless someone sees it they can run for quite some time,' Mrs Reid said.
Mrs Reid said that the new toilets would secure future events for the club.
"We're one of ten clubs in the central west tennis regions that runs big junior days," she said.
