If the plan proceeds this will result in the slow death of harness racing in Queensland. There will be no new track like Menangle or Melton, just a proposal for a joint facility at Deagon not owned by the harness industry which will lose ownership of a valuable resource, Albion Park in exchange for effectively becoming a tenant. Moonee Valley is an example of the failure of this type of arrangement.
