Working Groups to Support Implementation of the EQ Statewide Facilities Plan 2019-2028

Equestrian Queensland (EQ) is seeking Expression of Interests (EOI) from members who are interested in being part of working groups to support the continued implementation of the EQ Statewide Facilities Plan.

What is the EQ Statewide Facilities Plan 2019-2028?  

The EQ Statewide Facilities Plan 2019-2028 identifies and prioritises equestrian facility needs across Queensland based on data, member feedback, consultation with government and will generate momentum to support EQ and our affiliates to secure funding from government and the private sector through the clear identification of facility projects that provide the best possible opportunities for more participants of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities to enjoy equestrian sport.

EQ Statewide Facilities Plan Working Groups 

To deliver an effective strategy for the six key priority projects, EQ will establish six working groups, consisting of members of affiliated clubs, show societies, EQ sport committee representatives and EQ staff. EQ acknowledges the need for a whole of industry networking process and that other Queensland horse sport organisations have attributes and requirements that each working group will need to recognise and consider during the review, planning and implementation stages. 

The projects;

• Queensland State Equestrian Centre - Master planning and project delivery to achieve a minimum Tier 2 facility (including cross country course) with surface and stables/camping upgrade being the priority
• Toowoomba/Lockyer Valley  - Master planning and project delivery to achieve an all-discipline minimum Tier 2 facility with surface being the priority
• Gold Coast - Establishment of a minimum Tier 3 facility with surface being the priority
• Townsville - Professionally facilitated regional equestrian facility planning to identify potential multi-use home grounds and targeted facility improvements
• Far North Zone - Professionally facilitated regional equestrian facility planning to identify potential multi-use home grounds and targeted facility improvements
• Redlands - Establishment of a minimum Tier 3 facility with surface being the priority
