•A greener Thoroughbred Park
The masterplan has been designed with sustainability and environmental impact top of mind.
The Canberra Racing Club is working with the ACT Government on a $2bn masterplan which would see homes as well as restaurants, cafes and shops developed across 17 hectares of land.
Design of the Thoroughbred Park Precinct will incorporate landscape values, water sensitive urban design, and active travel; and contribute to the ACT’s living infrastructure plan.
Sullivans Creek
An open space corridor will protect and enhance ecological values, allow for nature flows to be restored and assist with flood mitigation.
Active travel
Close to public transport and active travel corridors to be established.
Green space
A tree canopy plan will protect and replant as needed, while height limits and open space prioritise public amenity.

The Thoroughbred Park Precinct will be transformed into a vibrant, sustainable community hub, supported by a $2 billion investment.
Spanning 17 hectares along Sullivans Creek, the precinct will deliver new homes, public spaces, and active travel connections that enhance sustainability values and neighbourhood connectivity.
The project aligns with the ACT Government’s commitment to enable 30,000 new homes by 2030 while integrating green infrastructure, water-sensitive design, and a strong focus on public amenity.
