Financial year 2010-11 represented a period of relatively restrained activity for the CRDF in funding terms. The level of financial assistance disbursed was lower than 2009-10, primarily due to provisions for a large-scale proposed new public raceday/functions complex at Tamworth racecourse remaining intact. However the level of activity remained high due to numerous, lower-value projects being undertaken. Significant flooding occurred at Gundagai and Mudgee racecourses during December 2009, and the CRDF Board considered it prudent to set aside contingency funding to potentially cover restoration works required as a result of the consequential damage. Both clubs are pursuing disaster relief funding made available under Natural Disaster declarations in these Local Government areas and thus far, the CRDF contingency funding has not been drawn-down. Collectively, these outcomes resulted in the Fund operating well within its budget for the period. MAJOR PROJECTS COMPLETED ! ! ! ! ! ! !
