I'm surprised at the information you have supplied. There is a small one at Stanthorpe ( Qld ) It has posted on this site.

No doubt the ones that have been closed would be reasonably easy for the administrators to confirm and remove, but is it not up to the Centres to update their other details. Perhaps users of this site might remind their Centres, if the info is not up-to-date, or the Centre is not listed?

Rockhampton Squash Bowl have 22 Synthetic Lanes only.

The blue side was replaced with the squash courts whilst beside the red side, is the new (extended) 6 Lanes where the squash courts once were located.

Warrawong closed its doors in 2005 when AMF bought out Illawarra/Strikezone.

Shellharbour closed in early 2003, and its lanes and machines were relocated to Illawarra/Strikezone, which opened about 1 or 2 months after Shellharbour closed.

True, but 8 wood (blue) lanes are still there and operational.....not sure if they are still sanctioned. I think the plan was to take them all out but only 6 have been removed so far....

Shellharbour has been open by a private operator for the past 5 yrs...
