The Victorian Government introduced a Bill into Parliament on Tuesday that will transition Harness Racing Victoria from a statutory authority to a company limited by a guarantee.

Amending the Racing Act 1958, the Racing Legislation Amendment (Entity Governance and Other Matters) Bill 2026 will move HRV out of the public sector.

HRV has worked with the Government to formalise the legislation, which will provide greater flexibility for it to innovate, commercialise, and drive the future of harness racing in Victoria.
