The Gold Coast Turf Club (GCTC) tracks and lights is an approved government co-funded project totalling $63 million between the Queensland Government, Racing Queensland and the GCTC.

The Gold Coast Turf Club is integral to the Queensland racing industry and is internationally recognised as the host to the iconic $10 million Magic Millions  raceday.  

The project will consist of the refurbishment to the existing racing surfaces, construction of lights for night racing, an equine tunnel to the infield and a new all-weather synthetic track.

The installation of the all-weather synthetic track has commenced and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022.

In 2023, the re-construction of the course proper and installation of the lights is scheduled to occur, which will allow racing to return under lights from early 2024.
