Reserves Act 1977

Classification and management of reserves - Special provisions as to recreation reserves set apart for racecourse purposes

66: Club may use reserve on conditions

You could also call this:

"Clubs can use reserves for events if they follow the rules and meet certain conditions."

If you are part of a racing club, you can use a recreation reserve for race meetings. The club must agree to the terms and conditions set by the administering body. You can find these terms and conditions in the advertisements from the administering body, and they will also tell you which dates you can use the reserve. You can only use the reserve if your club has at least 50 members, and each member pays at least $10 per year to the club. The administering body decides when you can use the reserve, and you must follow their rules.
