Wanneroo and Victoria Park’s opposition to Burswood racetrack plan
Out with Burswood Park, and in with the Wanneroo Raceway.
The Victoria Park and Wanneroo Councils have teamed up to hit back at the Labor governments election commitment to build a race track at Burswood Park.
Wanneroo Mayor Linda Aitken has backed Victoria Park Mayor Karen Vernon’s calls to scrap a motorsport circuit at Burswood Park, calling on the State Government to save beautiful parklands by supporting upgrades to the existing Wanneroo Raceway.
Already one of Western Australia’s premier motorsport destinations, government funding for the Council-endorsed Wanneroo Raceway Master Plan could transform the raceway into a world-class facility and tourist hotspot, with a drift track, 4WD training and mountain biking, as well as other family friendly attractions.
