Background

The Dalby Showgrounds Precinct is a state-of-the-art facility boasting the Dalby Events Centre, a large main area, under cover area, sheepdog ring, over 170 stables, ample camping space, and two entertaining spaces.

The master plan will consider the whole Dalby Showgrounds Precinct, including the Dalby Events Centre, Bligh Street Sports Ground, and other possible options.

The Showgrounds have been operational since 1870. During this time the infrastructure needs have undergone many changes, particularly as they have become more multi-purpose.

There are opportunities to explore commercial opportunities at the showgrounds, leverage the growing popularity of equine sports and clubs and further develop Dalby’s ability to showcase the best of the Western Downs.

We want to hear your thoughts on how you currently use the Dalby Showgrounds and what should be considered for the new master plan.
