Triple R’s proposal would create speedway tracks for motorbikes and sprint cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 5, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

A proposal to built a multi-million dollar motorsport complex in the South Burnett looks unlikely to progress much further as the promoters behind the project have had no luck so far in finding a suitable location.<\/p>\n

Triple R Motorsports Inc had been working for some time on a proposal to build the complex at Hervey Bay, but when that stalled they began looking at potential areas away from the coast.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> understands Triple R representatives have spoken to numerous real estate agents in the South Burnett region over the past month, but the right parcel of land has not been found.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell said there was no suitable land currently being held in council’s land portfolio, either.<\/p>\n

The original Fraser Coast Motorsport Park proposal would have incorporated tracks for speedway bikes and sprint cars, sand and dirt drags and a driver training facility with skid pans.<\/p>\n

Other ideas included a karna-cross and rally sprint track, and a quarter-mile bitumen drag racing track.<\/p>\n

The 200ha parcel of land that Triple R is looking for must be flat, at least four kilometres away from a residential area, have power and water connected, and be accessible by a bitumen road.<\/p>\n
