The Australian Turf Club will amalgamate with the Rosehill Bowling Club as part of its plans for development of the racecourse precinct.

ATC members voted in favour of the amalgamation which will mean an upgrade of facilities at the licensed club and maintenance of the bowling greens.

"The board and executive of the ATC have been working very hard over a number of years to develop a masterplan for Rosehill Gardens, including a major entertainment and lifestyle precinct based around a full urban redevelopment of the Camellia Peninsula," ATC chief executive Darren Pearce said.

"This has been coupled with the potential for light rail linking Parramatta, Rosehill Gardens and Homebush, along with other lines through the region that would unlock its full potential.

"This vote allows us to bring further landholdings and value to this entertainment precinct which would ultimately include new bowling greens and facilities for the Rosehill Bowling Club."

ATC members also voted subject to final approval by the Minister for Racing to allow the re-election of two of the four Club-appointed Directors every two years, as opposed to the current system of re-election of all four directors every four years.
