Fantastic news yesterday with government funding announced for the proposed racecourse in Flaxmere, a major step toward delivering a state-of-the-art, Tier 1 racecourse and training facility for Hastings.
The 44.5-hectare development at the end of Portsmouth Road would become one of just five metropolitan racetracks in New Zealand, bringing top-level racing and major events to the region.
We are proud to be the developers of this transformative project, which will create jobs and deliver lasting benefits for Flaxmere and the wider Hawke’s Bay economy. While the project still remains subject to council approvals and processes, we are optimistic about the opportunity ahead.
This project forms part of our wider investment in Flaxmere, alongside the development of the new Woolworths supermarket, the Flaxmere Village Shopping Centre, and new affordable housing, all focused on creating jobs, homes, and lasting community opportunity.
