The state government has stopped construction of Queensland's newest greyhound racing track until a review into the industry is complete.

The future of the track at Cronulla Park in Slacks Creek is now in doubt until an independent, three-month review into the live baiting scandal finishes.

Racing Minister Bill Byrne initially said the track would go ahead despite revelations of widespread live-baiting. He then softened his position before going one step further on Sunday, telling Racing Queensland he would halt the project.

"In making this decision I have also considered advice from the Logan City Mayor, Councillor Pam Parker, that the local council does not support the development," Mr Byrne said.
