History
Lot 45 of DP 203612 on Hickey Avenue was formally gazetted as a recreation reserve on 27 September 1929 (Reserve 20246). In the following year it was allocated for use by a newly formed tennis club.
The establishment of the Hillcrest Tennis Club (later renamed the Daglish Tennis Club) was supported by a grant of £878 from the Municipality of Subiaco, which enabled clearing of the site and construction of courts. The club was formally opened on 21st March 1931 by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr G. H. Olney, at which time it had a membership of 60.
Historical aerial photos show that the Cork tree, which is located near the eastern corner of the reserve (immediately south-east of the courts) was well established by the early 1950s, but that its canopy was not very extensive at that time. Depending on the rate of growth for young cork trees this suggests that it may have been planted in around 1940. It is therefore possible that it was planted as part of what has been described as the “considerable efforts” of the club to improve the grounds in 1938.
Condition
Based on general observation the tree appears to be in a healthy condition
