The Sunshine Turf Club has revealed it is developing a master plan to create revenue streams that are not tied to its racing operations.
Chief executive John Miller says the master plan will lay a foundation for the Caloundra-based club to thrive over the “next 20 to 40 years”.
“It is about what other pieces of land on the precinct that we develop for other needs that can also drive some revenue back into the club and continue to improve the members' experience and facilities,” Miller told the Racing Queensland website.
The Sunshine Coast is a fast-growing region north of Brisbane and chairman Peter Boyce says the club needs to cater for an increased population.
“We have 80 hectares in all (at Corbould Park) and racing will always be number one and our bread and butter as a club,” he said.
“(But) we want anything we do to feed into racing, any income we have.”
The SCTC will host a special race day on Friday to mark its 40th anniversary.
