The RA Board has invested in a preliminary design and budget assessment for the redevelopment of Randjesfontein into a fully functional racecourse.  Randjesfontein is being billed a  country racecourse.

The Professional Team includes: An Architect, QS, C&S Engineers, Electrical specialists, Track Design experts and Digital Product specialists. This team is headed by our project development manager Judith Smith.

Design and Development Key Requirements include the following: Get people closer to the horses, Synthesize the drama of the Sport of Horseracing with the suburbanite’s desire for outdoorliving.

Containerised and prefab solutions integrated into a landscaped and pedestrianised multifunctional precinct. Digital product is to be integrated into the design. 

The provisional racecourse budget -including the building costs, track upgrades, development costs and professional fees is approximately R 87 Million . 

The timelines -on the assumption that the existing design team continue on the project –is approximately 9 months and this includes the track widening and grass establishment, the importation and installation of the running rails and starting stalls, general construction, fitout and commissioning.

The RA does not consider itself to be in the business of property ownership and we have produced this preliminary design concept and budget with the intention of finding an investor in order to bring the vision to life or to buy the property as a whole with the intention of going ahead with the race course development as envisaged in this design. The sale of the property will be conditional and must be in line with the long term objective and protection of horseracing.
