Victoria Park Centre Court is set to undergo a redevelopment project, with the government conducting a technical feasibility study. Sports Minister Rosanna Law announced this during a TVB programme, stating that the venue aims to become an all-weather, multi-purpose facility for hosting larger-scale and higher-level sports events.

Law mentioned that a retractable roof would be included in the future design, catering to high-level tennis tournaments that require outdoor play. The authorities are exploring faster construction methods that do not exceed the budget. Law expressed hope to commence design work promptly and begin construction within the first five-year plan period.

The completion of the project is expected to be near the beginning of the subsequent five-year plan period. During the renovation, large-scale tennis competitions are anticipated to be held at Hong Kong Stadium.
