The City has been working on recycled water solutions for the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racing Club (KBRC) and our greater community for some time.
During a briefing last Tuesday with the KBRC, Water Corporation, Racing and Wagering WA (RWWA), Member for Kalgoorlie Ali Kent, and the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, stakeholders were informed of the KBRC’s current water storage levels and the detrimental possibility of holding the racing season in other locations.
Following this meeting and updated information, the CEO briefed Councillors and the Mayor Thursday morning on a potential solution that would require State Government support to ensure preparations for the KBRC’s 2025 racing season can proceed. This City-led solution also ensures parks, schools, and ovals can continue to be watered.
At the request of the Elected Members, the CEO presented this proposal to the State Government, KBRC, and RWWA with urgency last week. The City has since been advised that a response regarding the City-led solution is anticipated in the new year.
We remain optimistic and look forward to a positive outcome.
The City will continue to keep the community updated as more information becomes available.
