What began as a $1.36 million redevelopment became one of Australia’s most impressive harness racing facilities.
Led by Thompson McRobert Edgeloe (TME), the Bunbury Trotting Complex in Western Australia was completely reimagined—from replacing the existing 800-metre track with a new 960-metre world-class circuit to modernising the entire precinct with new stables, public viewing areas, broadcast facilities, and upgraded lighting.
Designing a track capable of delivering fast, fair racing while reducing stress on horses required extensive research and precise engineering. Every aspect of the geometry—from spiral curves to transitions—was carefully optimised to create one of the fastest harness racing tracks in Australia.
Using 12d Model, the entire project was digitally modelled, allowing the team to refine complex geometry with confidence and provide contractors with highly accurate construction data to achieve an impressive 5 mm surface tolerance. The same model was also exported into 3D visualisation software, enabling realistic renders and animations that helped communicate the final vision before construction.
The success of the Bunbury redevelopment quickly led to further opportunities, with TME commissioned to design additional harness racing facilities across Western Australia and Victoria.
Perhaps the project’s greatest endorsement came from those who raced on it. As leading Bunbury trainer Andrew DeCampo simply put it:
The 12d Tech Forum offers a fantastic opportunity for engaging in educational sessions, fostering valuable connections, and networking (sometimes over dinner and drinks!) with other members of the 12d community.
The 12d Tech Forum is the top destination for 12d Model and 12d Synergy customers and partners to gain knowledge and become a part of a thriving community of industry leaders and enthusiasts.
