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.
