Key development in NZ’s Project Stamina

RCP has been appointed as independent consultants to Project Stamina, a dual-code initiative focused on the future of New Zealand’s racing infrastructure.

Project Stamina’s goal is to produce a unified master plan for racing and training venues nationwide and to provide a clear, long-term view of where and how the industry should invest across both thoroughbred and harness codes.

RCP is a leading provider of independent project management and strategic advisory services across New Zealand’s property and construction sectors, including major sporting infrastructure and recreation facilities.

NZTR chief executive officer, Matt Ballesty, said RCP’s appointment marked an important step in the project.

“This is a critical piece of work for our industry. There have been a lot of assessments completed over the years at the Club, regional and code levels, but it hasn’t always been cohesive or aligned to a single national view,” he said. 

“We’ve taken the time to run a thorough process and are pleased to have RCP on board. Their experience in complex, multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects will help us bring real clarity to the options in front of us and give everyone greater confidence in the decisions we ultimately make.”
