The cycling venue for the 2000 Olympic games, the Dunc Gray Velodrome was opened on 28 November 1999 and is named after Edgar "Dunc" Gray, the first Australian to win a cycling Gold Medal at the Olympic Games (Los Angeles 1932).[1] At the time of its construction, the State Government owned the velodrome. Bankstown Council managed the velodrome under a sublease. In 1998, the council sublet the velodrome to Bankstown Sports Club, under a 21-year sublease. The council is scheduled to resume control of the velodrome in 2019.[1] ConstructionCosting $42 million as a track cycling venue for the Sydney 2000 Olympics,[2] construction of the velodrome, as well as an 800m Criterium Practice Track, commenced in May 1998 and finished in November 1999.
