News Summary:

On April 28, 2026, the Australian Turf Club (ATC) announced a multi-year partnership with URM (United Resource Management), designating it as the official waste services partner. URM, recognized for its large-scale waste management solutions, brings over four decades of experience to the role. This development followed the ATC's appointment of Steve McMahon as its permanent chief executive on April 14, 2026. McMahon had served as interim CEO for the previous seven months, taking the helm after a management reshuffle that included the departure of former CEO Matt Galnos. The club stated McMahon's appointment aims to rebuild industry alignment amid ongoing tensions with Racing NSW. Earlier, on March 20, the ATC claimed Racing NSW owed it millions of dollars. This dispute came shortly after Racing NSW's bid to appoint an administrator for the ATC was unsuccessful on March 16, 2026. Racing NSW had formally moved to appoint an administrator on December 15, 2025, citing serious concerns about the club's financial position, corporate governance failures, and board dysfunction.
