MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1245

Motorsports Sites

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning

(1) What are the sites under consideration for a motor cycle complex to replace Fairbairn Park.

(2) When will a -decision be made.

(3) Is there a preferred choice and, if so, where is it.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) Four sites have been selected for an acoustical investigation of suitability for motorsports. The sites are at Williamsdale, Pialligo, Fairbairn East and Majura.

(2) A draft acoustical report has been completed and this is being evaluated by an inter-departmental steering committee.. Following the evaluation of the acoustic study, a more detailed examination of other environmental, infrastructure and cost factors will need to be undertaken to determine whether any of the four sites being investigated offer a feasible alternative to the Fairbairn Park site.

Before any relocation decision is taken, preparation of an environmental impact

. statement will be required and this will --

provide formal opportunity for public input and

comment.

In view of the above I am not able to indicate when the decision will be.made.

(3) A number of options are still under, consideration. There is no preferred site at this stage.
