Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) chief executive Tony Mestrov was among the guests at the meeting, which has been hailed as an outstanding success.
Taree has been racing for more than 60 years while the club has been domiciled at Kanangra Drive since 1979.
"This has been a long time coming,'' Mr Mestrov said. "We've been talking about this since 2016.
"The (GRNSW) board made a decision in January to have (TAB) racing in Taree. Originally we wanted to race over the Easter weekend but obviously with the COVID-19 we couldn't do that.
"But we're finally here.''
Mr Mestrov praised the efforts of Taree president Des McGeachie and secretary Peter Daniel on getting TAB meetings here, with the support of Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead.
Mr Mestrov said 13 meetings have been assigned to Taree.
