EP30. Geelong Racing Club’s bold plans for a sporting precinct and revitalised rail link

On this episode Michael and Gareth meet the CEO of Geelong Racing Club, Luke Rayner, in the week of the 2024 Geelong Cup. One of the great race days of the spring calendar, the Geelong Cup brings the race-goers together for a fun day of activities. Located only 3kms from the Geelong CBD, the racecourse is a massive parcel of crown land that could have the potential to unlock a huge sporting precinct for AFL, AFLW, basketball, netball and more. And you might be surprised to know there’s an old train station right out the front that could be revitalised to create a direct rail link to town. Plus watch till the end of the show as Gareth meets a few of the punters on Cup Day.
