In a two-week period late last year, the Australian Turf Club went from insisting there was “definitely no plan” to relinquish Rosehill Racecourse to approaching the government with a plan to build 25,000 new homes.
The Australian Turf Club told the Minns government that Rosehill Racecourse was one of its “premier” racetracks and insisted there was “definitely no plan” to relinquish it for housing only a fortnight before proposing to do exactly that.
Despite the Minns government blocking the release of a swathe of documents relating to its dealings with the ATC in the lead up to announcing a potential redevelopment of the racecourse late last year, a tranche of files shows how rapidly the plan developed and raise new questions about its adherence to unsolicited proposal rules.
The same presentation, however, presents two options for Canterbury Racecourse. One, which would have seen the course preserved, would have created about 900 new homes by moving an existing car park. But the second option raised the prospect of relocating the course and creating space for 4,000 new homes and green space along the Cooks River in Sydney’s Inner West.
But shadow Housing Minister Scott Farlow said the documents raised questions about the timeline behind the proposal and who raised the idea to redevelop Rosehill. But the guidelines also allow the government to engage with a stakeholder before a formal proposal is lodged. The Minns government has insisted it followed due processes.the “context” of its comments at the October 25 meeting was “with regard to Camellia, which as you know has been a long-term process over almost 10 years for the possibility to develop land around the edges of the racecourse”.
