A NEW welfare levy is being imposed on greyhound prize money and subsidies by Racing Queensland, with it set to raise more than $1.6 million in additional funding as a part of a plan to improve integrity and animal welfare measures.
The new levy comes into effect from March 1 and coincides with Racing Queensland plans to implement a series of changes to the sport’s practices, such as stricter training regulations in regards to the use of lures.
The new levy will be imposed on all feature and base level prize money in addition to incentive and subsidy schemes.
