The Longreach Jockey Club plans the September meeting amid a dispute with bookmakers over moving their stand from in front of the grandstand to a new position near the band rotunda.

Longreach bookmakers attended, but the committee's authority remains the key issue as calls for settlement rest on recognizing the governing body.
