The Australian Turf Club’s long-term strategy to build and improve Sydney racing infrastructure takes another important step under a partnership with property group Mirvac to develop non-core, surplus land at Canterbury Park.

ATC and Mirvac will work with the local community, NSW Government and Canterbury Bankstown Council toward securing a considered and suitable development for a 12,800 sq/metre site that sits opposite Canterbury Park racecourse.

The parcel of land is not essential to racing operations, and has been used in recent years as an overflow parking area.

Proceeds back to ATC from the development will be used on new and existing racing infrastructure, as well as Club amenities.

Building and maintaining world-class racing, training and customer facilities is the number one strategy for the ATC, and this partnership will allow us to further invest without affecting Sydney racing operations.

Canterbury Park is an increasingly important racing asset as it not only holds race meetings including our popular night racing program, but also facilitates important training facilities for visiting horses and the best local gallopers as they prepare for ATC feature races.

We are especially excited to be working with Mirvac, who were chosen after a competitive bid process, and have a proven track record in building modern housing that best serves the community.
