Greyhound racing set for significant growth in Tasmania North-West Coast with new track
Tasmania's North-West coast could soon again become a central hub for greyhound racing enthusiasts, with a new development application freshly submitted.
The application focuses on creating state-of-the-art harness and greyhound track in the region, a move anticipated to inject vitality and expansion into the local Tasmanian racing sector.
The development application was delivered by Tasracing, in conjunction with the Tasmanian Government.
A call for consultation with stakeholders is set to happen soon, ensuring a broad base of feedback.
This forms part of Tasracing's ongoing commitment to transparency, stakeholder involvement and incorporation of industry insights in their molding of future planning.
As reported by Tasracing, locals are invited to have a say in this transformative project by commenting on the development application.
The ability to influence the project's trajectory let's local voices be heard, making engagement an integral part of the project's development.
Economic stimulation, diversification of the local racing industry, and securing Tasmania's position on the global racing map are key anticipated benefits of this project.
While it is anticipated to provide these, at this early stage, no detailed costings or timelines are available for the proposed developments.
Stay tuned as we follow the yet-to-be-named project with keen interest, and monitor responses from both local stakeholders and Tasracing.
The new track will effectively replace the Devonport greyhound track which closed in March 2022.
