The proposed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing Greenfield Racing Hub has taken its next formal step, with the official Fast-track Approvals website confirming its substantive application has been lodged.

The proposed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing Greenfield Racing Hub at Pencarrow Road, Tamahere, has reached an important milestone after the Minister for Infrastructure accepted the project's referral application into the Government's Fast-track approvals process. While the decision allows the proposed Equine Hub to move to the next stage of assessment, it does not constitute approval for the development.
