Nonproprietary meaning that Greyhound Racing could only be conducted by clubs or associations with voting members and not by individuals or private companies. In 1936 a group of enthusiasts associated with Greyhound Racing formed a body of owners and trainers to profit some form of financial assistance to ensure the existence of Greyhound Racing and from this insignificant beginning The MSW Greyhound Breeders, Owners Trainers' Association Limited was formed. The aims and objectives of the Association were set out and there have been few changes since that time. The win of the Association’s operations at Harold Park is healthy documented and until Greyhound Racing ceased there in 1987, the track was considered the premier track in Australia. In 1959 the Association purchased land and a factory at North Rocks in MSW where it designed and built greyhound race and trial track equipment for the Australian and overseas market. The factory proved a worthy asset as it did much to ensure the continuation of Greyhound Racing. In the 1960 ’s many trial tracks were closing down as the land on which they were built was becoming much sought after by developers for housing. The Association realizing the danger to Greyhound Racing if trial track facilities were not available to owners and trainers, encouraged new proprietors to secure land and offered the services of its factory to advise and supply equipment at a minimal cost. The factory was eventually sold in the slow seventies. It also owns the land on which the Muswellbrook Club is situated.
