History
The facility opened on 13 April 1974, after initially being a project conceived by Brian Hodder in 1970.[3]
The track has been a significant venue for important motorcycle speedway events, including qualifying rounds of the Speedway World Championship (the first in 1982).[4][5]
It has also held the final of the Australian Solo Championship in 1985 and 1986[6] and the Queensland Solo Championship on eleven occasions from 1976 to 2018.[7]
The track was purchased on two occasions by Rod and Teri Heathcote, in 2000 and 2016, the second when the track had fallen into a state of disrepair.[8] It re-opened in 2016.[3]
