Parliament: 41 Session: 1

BUNBURY SPEEDWAY — SAFETY UPGRADES

685. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to the announcement by the member for Bunbury that the state government will provide $700 000 in funding for upgrades to Bunbury Speedway.

(1) Has work commenced to perform the $700 000 of safety upgrades at Bunbury Speedway?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) When will the safety upgrades be completed and what rating will Bunbury Speedway have when the $700 000 of works are completed?

(4) Are sprint car races able to be held at Bunbury Speedway at this point in time?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question.

(1) Yes.

(2) Not applicable.

(3) Safety upgrades will be completed in the next few months, with a five-star track rating endorsed by Speedway Australia.

(4) No. The next sprint car show is not scheduled until 1 January 2022. I am advised that sedan races are scheduled for November and December following the completion of the works.
