Policies

Queensland Racing Limited makes policies to help it manage the racing industry fairly, efficiently and effectively.

Under section 81 of the Racing Act 2002, Queensland Racing Limited must make policies for 23 separate areas and under section 84, these policies must be publicly available. Queensland Racing Limited also makes policies in other areas for the good management of the industry.

Consultation drafts of policies allow the wider racing industry to have its say on policies that affect it. Draft policies are publicised for a minimum of 28 days.

Anyone with an interest in racing can make a submission on a draft policy. Submissions should be in writing and reach Queensland Racing Limited before the end of the consultation period for the particular policy.

Exceptional circumstances may require Queensland Racing Limited to make a policy urgently, without formal consultation with industry. If this occurs, the interim policy will be reviewed within three months and will not continue after six months unless the usual formal consultation process is undertaken.

These Policies require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Draft Policies For Consultation

Have your say on these policies by making a submission before the consultation period closes:
