Paceway Vice President Rob Cutrie said Covid-19 had a significant impact on their operations and the grant would be vital to help get them through.
The money will go towards improving the Paceway’s entry road and service lanes and the installation of removable bollards to assist with access and traffic control.
State MP for East Hills, Wendy Lindsay, said it was fantastic to see the program go towards improvement works at the Paceway while supporting jobs and the economy.
“Bankstown Paceway is a multi-use facility which is used for other functions, events and markets, so this investment means it can continue to serve the community for generations to come,” she said.
“The NSW Government values the central role of showgrounds – many which served as emergency centres for residents and their animals, firefighters and other support services during recent bushfires and floods – and we want to ensure they’re supported and modernised.”
