Harness Racing Victoria’s (HRV) 2026–28 Strategic Plan outlines a high-level direction and future focus areas for the sport as it builds long-term sustainability.
The document is intended as a strategic roadmap, not an operational task list, and sets the overarching priorities that will guide the industry’s decisions over the coming years.
The plan includes:
-
HRV’s vision, purpose and values, which set the foundation for the industry’s direction
-
Key challenges and risks, which shape the operating environment
-
Four critical enablers, which create the conditions for success
-
Five strategic pillars, which describe the industry’s focus areas for the next three years
HRV CEO Matt Isaacs said the plan framed long-term direction rather than prescribing short-term actions.
“All involved with harness racing in Victoria have been part of its significant change in recent years as the industry returns to a pathway to sustainability, and this document will form an important roadmap to what’s next,” Isaacs said.
“I encourage those with a passion for this great sport to help us build the industry’s commercial sustainability, grow its communities, and enhance the welfare of its people and animals.”
