Geelong Racecourse could become major sporting precinct under $500k Labor pledge
A $500,000 Labor election commitment could lead to Geelong Racecourse and nearby land being developed into a wider sporting and community precinct. Geelong MP Chris Couzens announced the pledge at the Geelong Cup, saying the money would fund a precinct plan if the government is re-elected next month. The club has floated options including a multi-sport precinct and possible housing, although these proposals remain at an early stage. The government has not committed funding to any resulting building projects.
