Under CRP Round 2 the Chinchilla Race Club were successful in obtaining funding for new 12 Stall Simtrack Starting barriers and a trailer, that is being shared amongst clubs located within the Eastern Downs region and will be based out of the Chinchilla Race Club.

RQ and the club worked collaboratively together to create an agreement for the shared use of the barriers, the agreement will be available to all clubs as a template for clubs to use when looking to share equipment in the future.
