Project Value: $AUD120,000,000

Timothy Court & Company were invited by the Hong Kong Jockey Club to assist in preparing an offer for the hosting of the equestrian component of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Due to insurmountable quarantine issues associated with the hosting of the Equestrian Competition in mainland china, an alternative was being sought for the location of this venue.

Timothy Court were engaged from the earliest inception of the project and assisted the Jockey Club and Hong Kong Government in site selection, feasibility studies, and the knowledge sharing of the structures and responsibilites of the Federation Equestre Internationale, International Olympic Committee and Beijing Organisingn Committee for the Olympic Games.

The masterplan that was preapred by Timothy Court and Company for both the Core Equestrian Venue and the Cross Country Course Venue were accepted by the FEI and BOCOG and agreement was reached that the Venue would be moved from Beijing to Hong Kong.

Timothy Court and Company are now engaged as lead architects for the entire project up to and including the Olympic Competition in 2008.
