The Government will invest almost $400,000 in 18 projects at racecourses in the interests of public safety and animal welfare, Racing Minister Winston Peters announced today.
A range of projects have been supported including greyhound track grooming machinery, safety running rails, and training starting gates.
A septic tank upgrade is also among the projects.
The grants are made available through the Racing Safety Development Fund which provides just shy of a $1 million annually to racecourse safety across two funding rounds.
In May, Mr Peters announced a $72.5 million emergency support package.
"We are going to make racing great again," he said at the time.
