‘It’s extreme’: Plan to transform Sandown racetrack into new suburb meets resistance – Sydney Morning Herald
Dandenong Council warns traffic congestion may result from a plan to end horse racing at Sandown and redevelop the site into a new suburb the size of Wangaratta….
Cr Long said the loss of Sandown as a sporting venue, on top of the closure in 1999 of VFL Park in Waverley now a training venue for Hawthorn and surrounded by housing would be a blow to residents of Melbournes south-east.
Now theyre getting rid of Sandown. Weve got to travel to Melbourne or the other side of Melbourne to other venues and thats a shame because out this way its a growing population.
