There have been no compliance concerns identified during inspections.
The ratio of Greyhound race event inspections in comparison to the total number of inspections whilst indicating an increase between 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 is not showing a significant spike in greyhound race inspections:
• 2015/16 – the percentage of Greyhound event inspections in comparison to overall inspections total was 13% (22 total inspections: 3 greyhound race events)
• 2016/17 – the percentage of Greyhound event inspections in comparison to overall inspections totals was 23% (84 total inspections : 30 greyhound race events)
2017/18 current data shows that inspections related to Greyhound events in comparison to overall inspection total is currently at 17%.
Access Canberra total inspection numbers increased in the 2016/17 period and current data is indicating that the overall inspection activities for 2017/18 will meet or even exceed the 2016/17 final numbers. On the basis of this information whilst inspection activities are trending upwards, they are trending at a consistent rate across racing codes.
