11/01/10 ‘$1b Plan to Reshape Track and Build New Grandstand’, The Herald Sun
21.01.2010| Plus Architecture is currently working on the masterplan for the $1b redevelopment of Moonee ValleyRacing Club.
Plans for the restructured Moonee Valley racecourse include a four-tier grand stand with city skyline views, increased width of the new track and lengthening of the home straight, an infield stabling complex and capacity to hold crowds of 40,000 comfortably. As part of the proposed reconstruction of the site, plans include four residential towers around the existing boundary, with the current front end on to McPherson St sold for commercial, retail and residential development. MVRC Club chief executive Michael Browell said “the new track, layout, grandstand and amenities would be sensational…we’re actually going to make it more of an amphitheatre… we want to build a world-class night racing venue.” |
