The Racecourse Works master planning and delivery activity is now well underway. The Development Agreement, which was entered into in 2017 with Australia’s leading superannuation fund Hostplus and renowned developer Hamton, is actively in its construction phase for Stage 1. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over the next 15 years will deliver a new world-class racing facility that is supported by an urban designed residential, retail, commercial and lifestyle precinct. It is exciting to watch the progress being made to deliver the vision to transform the 98-acre Moonee Valley Racecourse site.
Approved MVRC Special Use Zone Masterplan
The Masterplan that will guide the transformation of the Moonee Valley Racecourse precinct was endorsed by Moonee Valley City Council (MVCC) at the 26 October 2021 Council meeting. The decision is a key milestone and follows a thorough planning process and extensive period of community consultation undertaken by MVCC and the MVRC.
The redevelopment of racecourse assets will create a sustainable and contemporary precinct, including exciting new social and recreational facilities for the community, MVRC Members, and visitors to enjoy. With this approval now finalised, work has commenced on the detailed planning of the four key elements of the new Moonee Valley Racecourse precinct – the Racecourse, Infield, Grandstand and Clubhouse.
The redeveloped precinct will feature exemplary sustainability initiatives in accordance with the Club’s corporate strategy objectives. The Project team is currently working to register the Racecourse Works project under the EnviroDevelopment sustainable development tool. EnviroDevelopment independently reviews development projects and awards certification to those that achieve outstanding performance across four or more of the provided elements – Ecosystems, Waste, Energy, Materials, Water and Community. Design activities have already commenced on water treatment and harvesting facilities, wetlands, and solar energy infrastructure.
