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.
