Who assesses a Racing Safety Development Fund request?
Grant requests are assessed in two stages.
- in the first stage, the Department checks that the grant request and the organisation making the request are eligible for this Fund.
- if both are eligible, requests go to the industry working group which uses assessment criteria to make grant decisions.
Grant decisions are made by an industry working group of:
- an independent chairperson appointed by the Minister for Racing
- a representative from each of the:
- New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing
- Harness Racing New Zealand, and
- New Zealand Greyhound Racing Association.
