About this place
What to expect
From finish line to fresh start, one of Australia's oldest racecourses is back in the running as a revitalised community recreational space. The redevelopment has transformed the former racecourse into a welcoming public space that balances heritage preservation with modern community use. The project has created a new public space featuring walking tracks, parkland, and all‑ages play space, amenities and historical wayfinding, while retaining significant heritage elements including the original grandstand, start gate and replica steeples. The redevelopment was guided by strong local input, including ongoing support from the Deloraine Turf Club, The Deloraine Folk Museum and community members with longstanding connections to the site, who contributed stories and insights reflected in the historical wayfinding signage throughout the precinct.
