The SAJC is committed to realising an ambitious portfolio of works aimed towards broadening the experience and perception commonly associated with Morphettville. The well-known grandstands and racecourse facilities will receive a much-needed upgrade however, it’s the adjacent significant works that are truly visionary. Incorporating the development of residential property, specialty retail, public access recreation spaces and a best-in-class Events Centre, Morphettville is set to be elevated from a venue to a true community; and a renowned must-visit asset to South Australia featuring, but extending beyond, horse racing.
By design, these project works are inherently based on creating a better future for Greater Adelaide; facilitating unique opportunities to attract people locally, from interstate, and overseas resulting in increased economic growth and prosperity for the State.
