About QGRC

Today, QGRC operates The Q in Ipswich, a world-class, purpose-built racing, hospitality and entertainment precinct representing a significant investment in greyhound racing across South-East Queensland. Featuring three racing tracks, licensed club, bistro, TAB facilities and a gaming lounge, The Q provides an exceptional platform for growth. With the venue now established, the focus is on realising its full potential, growing the commercial business, strengthening the racing product and delivering an outstanding experience for members, participants and patrons.

This is a highly visible CEO role with genuine scope to influence both QGRC's performance and the future of greyhound racing across South-East Queensland.
