Hale was an ardent opponent of previous chairman Peter McGauran’s proposal to sell and redevelop Rosehill in its entirety – one which failed to garner the necessary support of the ATC members in a contentious vote held in May.

But realising the value of the western Sydney site is still a priority for Hale and the board, who will press on with the project earmarked for the Camellia site, the redevelopment of which has been on the club’s agenda since 2016.

While he wished to move on from the drama surrounding the Rosehill proposal, Hale said that releasing value from unused land was still a major priority for the board.
