Abstract/Contents:Discusses the reconstruction of the Dubbo racecourse in New South Wales, Australia. States that "during the late 1980s, the racing industry identified several key regional centres [centers] that have subsequently been redeveloped to deliver a standard of racing and training facilities equivalent to those normally found at provincial venues." Details the stages of reconstruction beginning in April 2003. States that "the stage 1 and stage 2 improvements together will deliver a uniform course proper of 20m [meters] width with properly cambered turns and straights." Concludes that "potential loss in revenues arising from suspension or transfer of racing away from Dubbo were far more substantial than modest costs associated with establishing a temporary home turn."
