Construction on the highly anticipated Menangle Park Training Centre commenced this week.
Earth moving equipment from Macarthur company the TRN Group arrived at the site, which joins to the south of the Tabcorp Park Menangle to start the construction of the training track and building pads.
The Training Centre has received multiple expressions of interest from local, interstate and overseas trainers and will include stables, a 1000 metre training track, day yards, water walker and a swimming facility.
“It is very pleasing that we have finally broken soil on this project which anyone can imagine has been a lengthy process gaining local council and service utilities approval,” said HRNSW CEO John Dumesny.
“We have the expectation that construction of the barns will commence early in the new year with occupation expected shortly thereafter.”
Dumesny said the training centre will complete the world class facility at Menangle Park.
“Included in this development is a new access intersection off Menangle road which will service the training centre and race track in future years,” he said.
