US EditionDoomed From the Start: Why the Great Rosehill Sell-Off Failed
- Australian Turf Club members rejected a $5 billion proposal to sell Sydney's Rosehill Racecourse on Tuesday, ending a 17-month saga in western Sydney.
- The proposal aimed to replace the 60-hectare Rosehill site with 25,000 new homes and a Metro West station, but concerns about transparency and lacking details stalled support.
- Supporters, including ATC chairman Peter McGauran and Premier Chris Minns, stressed that sale proceeds would fund $1.9 billion in upgrades to other racecourses and housing relief efforts.
- The vote concluded with 56 percent opposing the deal, with many members reluctant to see Rosehill go despite its aging facilities and declining crowds.
- The rejection leaves the Minns government’s housing plan uncertain, while the Australian racing industry faces funding challenges and concerns over its future viability.
