Chinderah land purchased for $2 million for greyhound racing By Jonathon Howard
CHINDERAH COULD soon become
home to one of the world’s largest and most advanced greyhound racing centres of excellence, according to Tweed Heads Coursing Club (THCC) who purchased a 32-hectare block of land in early August. THCC is working towards submitting a development application to Tweed Shire Council for the $2-million site purchase, which is located west of the Chinderah Golf Course on the Pacific Motorway. THCC and Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) are now preparing a master plan for the RU1-zoned site, which if approved, is hoped to deliver a worldleading standard of greyhound racing. The project is expected to take around nine to 12 months to complete after development approvals are in place, according to THCC secretary-manager Stephen McGrath. Mr McGrath told The Weekly the track could be a huge win for the Tweed Shire. “The club’s prime objective was to always reinvest the proceeds from the sale of Border Park back into greyhound racing, but the position of the board was that it would only do so if it was under the right terms and in the best interests of the club’s members,” he said. “And while this is only step one it’s a big
step. There’s plenty of work to be done as we map out a master plan. But it’s great to finally step into the ring and have the land secured.” It has been almost four years since the iconic Border Park complex was sold for $15 million to Gold Coast Airport. Following the sale in 2016, Mr McGrath has remained in constant dialogue with racing officials in both NSW and Queensland to ensure the club was on firm footing when embarking on the new development. “You only get one chance to get it right so the club’s position was never time sensitive,” Mr McGrath told The Greyhound Recorder, who broke the story. “But it was always the club’s preference to reinvest back into the Tweed Shire which will of course create local jobs and contribute heavily into the community. “As it turns out, the land we’ve secured is only seven kilometres away from the old Border Park site. And it’s important the industry is aware that before a brick is turned on the site, our club will have spent close to $4 million on the project already. “It is a significant investment into the future of the industry.” Mr McGrath said the site could become one of the best industry standards in Australia, if not the world.

“My utopia is a 400-metre straight track and a circle track with an outside 75 metre radius with distances of 407m, 457m, 507m and a staying trip,” Mr McGrath said. “With so much land available, the precinct has the ability to house a number of other industry initiatives which I’m sure will form part of the master plan as well with GRNSW.” Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) boss Tony Mestrov said that the purchase of land is a significant mark in the future of greyhound racing in Northern NSW. “It is an incredibly important announcement and critical that greyhound

racing has a footprint in Northern NSW, as we have such a large greyhound population and strong participant base in the region,” Mr Mestrov said. “Not only will this be a state-of-the-art facility with straight and circle racing tracks, but it will also be a greyhound precinct which will provide other services to the industry. “It will be an exciting time for participants and the industry in the region when the facility is built and greyhound racing proudly returns to the Tweed.” Tweed Shire Council said it had “not had discussions with GRNSW, however the local club has advised the general

Dominique Vasers Williams For the Northern Rivers region generally, I’ve received steady international buyer inquiries from Hong Kong, New Zealand and the US respectively - indicating significant activity from Australian ex-pats. There is a lack of quality properties in the $600,000 to the 1.5 million-dollar price range, and increased buyer demand. When those factors are combined, it gives way to price increases; particularly for well-presented and professionally marketed properties. That said, the Northern Rivers remains a soughtafter destination for second-home buyers, investors and now more than ever, primary residence buyers relocating from the city to the coast. What we have is an incredible lifestyle, and the Northern Rivers continually shines as one of the best coastal communities in Australian.

For an answer to your question, call Dominique on 0437140479 or send an email to dominique.williams@qldsir.com. Today’s question is from one of our readers. Is Covid-19 affecting the Northern Rivers property marketing? It’s no secret that Covid-19 has seriously disrupted the economy over the last several months; yet, so far, the Northern Rivers property market has not been negatively affected. Far from slowing down, buyer queries are at an all-time high. Interestingly, the top sources for Cabarita Beach queries are from the Sydney eastern suburbs and the Sydney CBD. For Hastings Point, the prime origins for inquiries are the Sydney eastern suburbs, followed by the Gold Coast.
