Voting for the eight-man Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) board has been completed with four members elected from both the Queensland and Brisbane Turf Clubs.

The new board consists of Paul Williams, Kevin Dixon, Peter Tighe and Wayne Milner from the Brisbane Turf Club while Neville Bell, David Dawson, Eddie Kann and Bill Sexton were elected from the Queensland Turf Club.

The new BRC board will meet in the near future to commence planning for the new club and elect a chairman.

Various conditions such as approvals from the ACCC, Australian Taxation Office, the Queensland Government and Queensland Racing Limited have to be met before the merger is finalised.

The new Brisbane Racing Club becomes operational on July 1 next year.
