Pukekura Raceway has been the home of racing in New Plymouth for more than 160 years.
New Plymouth District Council is seeking public feedback on the future of the 38-hectare central New Plymouth site.
Taranaki Racing Incorporated's (TRI) lease arrangements are currently uncertain, due to complex and historical reasons.
