The project involved the demolition of over 40,000m2 of space, and the redevelopment resulted in doubling the capacity of the existing grandstands, construction of a new owners' and trainers' building, as well as a new 1,000-seat ballroom for functions, which was converted to corporate suites on race days.

The new Theatre of the Horse parade ring allows for 4,500 people to view horses before and after races, with a tunnel providing horse and rider access to the course.
