Trentham Racecourse Overhaul
So in around 5-7 years we can expect the retention of the historical, famous racecourse proper of the international size it is currently and has been for around 120 years but with a completely amazing remodeled "offcourse".
850 above average apartments within multistoried blocks, a hotel, a retail village including bars and cafe/restaurants, other entertainment and features as well as facilities compatible with racing are replacing the two old grandstands and the land inbetween and on the outers.
As a local I hope that the Kiwi Rail-promised walkway from the Wallaceville Estate to the Trentham Railway Station and thus also the new racecourse complex, will finally be constructed. A walk to all of this on a good day would be right up my alley.
