"Due to necessary measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, racing has been a spectator-less sport, meaning revenue for the industry has been significantly reduced," Farraway said.
"This has had knock-on effects to prizemoney for greyhound owners, whose outgoings have remained the same."
The measures will deliver close to $340,000 worth of fee waivers for greyhound owners in NSW.
Farraway said the measures will help greyhound owners across NSW during one of the hardest economic challenges of our lifetime.
"Every dollar counts in these difficult times and this measure will be a big relief for every greyhound owner in NSW," he said.
The fee waivers will apply for 12-month registrations falling due on July 1.
