Blow to Minns as turf club votes down plan to sell Sydney racecourse to NSW to build 25,000 homes

The Minns government's ambitious plan to sell Rosehill racecourse for $5bn aimed to boost Sydney's housing stock by building 25k homes and a metro stop, but the proposal was rejected by ATC members, leaving Premier Chris Minns disappointed and delaying key parts of the project. The decision also threatens to undermine the government's housing goals and impact the racing industry, which had hoped for long-term benefits from the sale.
