YOU won’t find a polo club like it in NSW, and if current plans by the RMS to improve the app-roaches to North Richmond Bridge go ahead, you won’t see it at all. Windsor Polo Club, the Hawkesbury’s first and oldest polo club, could lose its facility to proposed road improvements that cut across their internationally renowned fields, which attract thousands of the sport’s finest every year, including English royalty. Club administration met with members of the RMS to discuss the current options on improving traffic flow from North Richmond to Richmond, with each of them including plans to widen the road on the clubs’ side of Kurrajong Road to cater for traffic. Windsor Polo Club founding member and fields chairman, John Wayland, said the proposed options would “destroy” the club. Mr Wayland said the proposed road would make the grounds too unsafe for players, and in turn render the facility unfit for competition. “This club has been here for over 40 years – it’s the only public polo facility of its kind in the state,” Mr Wayland said. “As we say, the club belongs to everybody, but is owned by nobody ... if we go, where does it leave the sport of polo in the Hawkesbury?” Windsor Polo Club president and Australian female polo representative Julie McIntosh said it would be a huge shame to lose the club, which attracts international and national competitions every year, including the International Test. Ms McIntosh said they don’t understand why the land on the other side of Kurrajong Road couldn’t be used for road widening, as it’s predominantly paddocks and empty space. Windsor Polo Club employs 50 staff, and injects $500,000 into the local Hawkesbury community every season. Ms McIntosh and Mr Wayland fear the loss of their unique facility could also have a detrimental impact on the local economy, which is already struggling. A spokesperson for the RMS said the four proposed options for the Richmond Bridge were exhibited to the community from September 21 to October 17, and the options were developed canvassing all constraints, including heritage.  “Community submissions are currently under review, with the preferred option expected to be announced by mid next year,” the spokesperson said.  “Further refinements of the selected options will occur during concept design phase.  “The meeting on November 1  between RMS and the Windsor Polo Club was arranged to explain the options to the potentially impacted land owner in further detail and understand the landowner’s concerns.”
