Queensland Government To Provide Update On Racing Review

Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games The Honourable Tim Mander
  • The independent Racing Review has now been delivered to the Queensland Government for consideration.
  • The Crisafulli Government will host an industry event to brief stakeholders and participants.
  • Covering all three codes, it has been the most substantial review of the state's racing sector for more than 25 years.
  • The Crisafulli Government is delivering for the racing industry after 10 years of neglect under the former Labor government.

The Crisafulli Government is inviting racing stakeholders and community members to register for an upcoming industry event to announce the Government's Response to the Independent Racing Review.

In March, the Crisafulli Government launched an independent review into all three codes of racing to ensure a sustainable and prosperous future with integrity and animal welfare at its core, after the industry was neglected for a decade by the former Labor Government.

The findings of the review were delivered to the Crisafulli Government on September 30 and the Government is now considering its findings.

An industry event will be held on October 13, 2025, to provide an update to industry stakeholders and participants.

Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander welcomed the final report and urged all racing stakeholders and interested community members to register for the upcoming event.

"I would like to thank the independent chair and steering committee for their tireless efforts in delivering the Review and its recommendations," Minister Mander said

"The industry's impact on the state is now close to $2.5 billion per year and is responsible for around 14,500 full-time jobs for Queenslanders, with more than half the economic benefits going to regional community.

"I look forward to providing an update to industry on October 13 where we will release the review and lay out a clear roadmap to help industry grow and remain sustainable."
