Racing review outcomes to be released on October 13
The much-anticipated findings of the government-funded review into Queensland racing will soon be released.
In perhaps a bad sign for the bush, the Queensland government is holding a Brisbane-based industry event to announce its response to the Independent Racing Review.
The Crisafulli Government is inviting racing stakeholders and community members to register for the upcoming industry event.
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.
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 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,” he 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.”
