Devonport racecourse is set to undergo a major facelift with the installation of a new all-weather track as well as improved stabling facilities.
The Tasmanian Minister For Racing, Bryan Green, announced a $40 million package for capital works at the Spreyton venue and also the Devonport Showgrounds for harness and greyhound racing.
“The projects are a significant investment in the future of racing in the region,” Mr Green said.
“This will further assist the development of all three codes on the North-West Coast.
“A track designer is expected to be selected soon to help with the preparation of tender documents,” he added.
A decision on what type of all-weather track will be laid at Devonport will be made by TasRacing in the coming months.
The Devonport Racing Club will host their next meeting this Sunday.
