Tennis Queensland suggests starting with local council grants. Most councils publish their programs on their own websites.
Start with the NSW grants finderSome programs fund court construction, resurfacing, fencing and lighting, but each has its own eligibility. For example, the NSW Local Sport Grant Program was open to incorporated not-for-profit sports clubs, not schools or councils. Read each program guide and speak to the funding body first.
