The Next Lap
The Next Lap sets a clear course of action for industry, government and the broader community for the future of Queensland racing.
It outlines the next steps and how each segment of Queensland’s racing industry must work together to turn commitments into a reality.
The Next Lap reinforces the shared responsibilities that keep Queensland racing strong:
- Government provides the framework, through regulation and legislation, that makes racing possible.
- Industry delivers the race meetings that bring the sport to life, ensuring the safety of participants, volunteers, animals and race goers, while creating memorable experiences for all.
- Communities drive the economic heartbeat of racing, supporting the livelihoods of more than 14,500 Queenslanders across the state.
Each group plays a vital role. For racing to not only endure but to thrive, every part of this ecosystem must contribute with purpose and unity. The Next Lap delivers a plan Queensland needs to succeed.
The Next Lap is a considered and practical roadmap which will be implemented with focus, consistency and discipline. This plan charts the course for every facet of Queensland’s racing industry.
