Taylor was selected to complete the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse Refurbishment project, which involved the refurbishment of the JR Fleming Stand with the key objective of improving the race day experience. Key works included significant improvement to the betting ring, audio visual experience, all amenities and food and beverage facilities.
The internalisation of the existing outdoor “betting ring” was one of the key additions to the building with the aim of providing better weather protection and amenity to this key race day activity. Working closely with the Australian Turf Club and its consultants, Taylor achieved significant cost savings through the re-design and value engineering of up to 80% of the tender design, reducing costs while maintaining the overall design intentions.

Completed August 2016
The site remained operational throughout the construction period and construction needed to be carefully managed to avoid and work with the event calendar. Provision was made to the existing services to ensure that mechanical and electrical services of the areas not subject to construction remained operational. The existing audio visual, RF and IP systems also needed to remain fully operational throughout the construction with the existing system being run in parallel with the new systems until practical completion of the entire project.
