Queensland Racing Review 2025

Queensland Racing Review 2025

The Queensland Government is committed to strengthening the state’s racing industry. We want to ensure the long-term viability of all three codes across the state, while maintaining high animal welfare standards.

We will undertake a comprehensive, independent review in 2025 that will shape the future of Queensland’s racing industry looking to 2045 and beyond.

Key focus areas for the Review

• Making sure all racing codes are financially sustainable.
• Improving integrity and animal welfare standards.
• Upgrading infrastructure to meet current and future needs.
• Supporting the success of country racing events.
• Encouraging better collaboration across the industry.
