In February 2024 the third NSW Greyhound Industry Leaders Summit was held in Sydney, bringing together experts and key stakeholders from around Australia and New Zealand.
This summit built on the progress made following the Race Injury Reduction and Rehoming and Prohibited Substances summits held in 2023, with a review of key strategies already being implemented.
Data highlighting the success of race injury reduction strategies, including trials of double-armed lures and preferred box draws was discussed. One of the key outcomes from the February 2024 summit was that an additional race injury reduction pilot will commence trialling an innovative soft sand profile as a new track base.
Rehoming, the greyhound superannuation scheme, and a prohibited substances app that is in development were also discussed, as were strategies aimed to increase the greyhound utilisation rate and prolong the racing careers.
