As you may be aware, over a number of years Motorcycling NSW has been making steady progress on a very large project in the Shoalhaven area, the Shoalhaven Motorsport Complex.
Over the recent years with the loss of venues such as Amaroo Park and most recently Oran Park, the demand on current motorsport facilities within NSW has increased leading to both limited track availability and rising venue hire costs for promoters, resulting in rising costs for competitors and motorsport enthusiasts.
Ultimately, the Shoalhaven Motorsport Complex will be a multi-faceted facility allowing for various forms of motorsport competition - car, bike and kart, driver and rider training and various community projects such as fun runs, cycling events etc.
At present, the Shoalhaven Motorsport Complex Development Application has been submitted and needs your support. We have today received confirmation from Council that the Shoalhaven Motorsports Complex Development Application (DA) is now formally out on public exhibition (again).
Following the exhibition there will be a determination to see if the project proceeds. There is a $9.5 million grant riding on the outcome, and of course, if it doesn’t happen then we’ll remain with the limited number of racing facilities available to us.
Shoalhaven City Council is asking for written submissions to be made by close of business on 28 MARCH 2016. It is vital that the support for the facility come through loud, clear and positive - please pass on the word to those that you think will be interested, including to all at clubs if you can, and please SUBMIT NOW before it’s too late.
If you would like to know more about the project we have a new updated website - www.shoalhavenmotorsportcomplex.com.au - which has a whole lot of information about the project.
