Woodend Racecourse Reserve

Woodend Racecourse Reserve plays an important role in the provision of sport and recreation opportunities for the community.

This reserve incorporates a fully fenced sports oval, athletics track, Buffalo Sports Stadium, two flexi-pave courts for netball and basketball, a scout hall and equestrian arenas.

The reserve is currently the home to the Woodend Pony Club, Riddells Creek Adult Riders Club, Hanging Rock and Woodend Pentanque Club, and is also accessed by the Woodend Junior Football Club and Woodend Hesket Football Netball Club.

Reserve master plan

Council is taking the next step in developing a Master Plan to guide the future of Woodend Racecourse Reserve, with more detailed proposals developed for community consultation.

Informed by initial consultation undertaken with key user groups and the community in early-mid 2023, an issues and opportunities paper has been developed for the Reserve including two potential concepts that either keep limited equestrian facilities on the site, or relocate them elsewhere.

Feedback was invited until Thursday 5 September 2024 via Council’s Your Say online engagement hub.
