The Warragul & District Greyhound Racing Club proudly operates with a strong focus on community engagement. Throughout the year, the club hosts and supports a range of events that bring people together, raise funds for great causes, and create opportunities for local groups to connect and enjoy themselves.
The club directly employs 16 permanent and casual staff, while the wider greyhound racing industry contributes significantly to the local economy—generating an estimated $40 million for the Gippsland region. This support helps sustain hundreds of jobs and provides valuable opportunities for local businesses and suppliers.
Our business has a massive contribution to the local West Gippsland economy.
At Warragul Greyhound Racing Club, the community is at the heart of everything we do. We actively host and support events that unite people—helping local groups connect, raise funds, and enjoy great times.
We’re proud to sponsor several local sporting organisations, including:
3 local football clubs and 2 football leagues
1 local cricket club
1 local bowls club
Through our support, we aim to help these clubs thrive and continue playing a key role in the social fabric of our region.
This annual event raises money for community groups that work with the aged and disabled and gives their clients a great day out at the races. Since 2003 the Warragul Great Chase Community Days have donated around $20,000 to local community groups.
The Oaks at Logan Park is a modern and stylish entertainment complex situated at the Warragul Racetrack. Set amongst picturesque surrounds, our venue provides the perfect location for your next fundraiser.
We’re a family-friendly racing club hosting free events throughout the year. Our Christmas Fun Day features face painting, BBQ, jumping castles, showbags, and more. Stay updated on upcoming events via our Facebook page.
