Nature

This motor circuit goes against the 20 year plan of Burswood park precinct.
We brought our Homes in this area knowing the plan and what to expect over the next 20 years.
This is the public space that we all use for exercise & recreation purposes

I live in the area and often walk around the area where the racetrack is proposed. I implore the people proposing this development to visit the area and seriously observe what is around. If they do, they will see various species of birds who will certainly have to move. Birds that have already been pushed from the CBD foreshore and South Perth foreshore due to developments there. The current area is tranquil and how a relaxing area near the river should be. The racetrack will completely destroy this atmosphere, with things not returning to normal while the racetrack is not operating. Accordingly, this racetrack will forever change what is great about this spot. I implore the decision-makers to visit the area and truly observe the disruptions this racetrack will cause, rather than selecting a place and pursuing a development from behind a desk in West Perth.

I live close to the race track in the City of Adelaide. The noise of helicopters and race cars over 4 days is appalling. The worst aspect, is the loss of access for people to what is usually Adelaide's most visited part of the Adelaide Parklands. People and pets are fenced out of swathes of the park for months. And its ugly - concrete barriers, massive grandstands which take months to assemble and disassemble. And the wildlife....!

Perth has the lowest tree canopy and we are now loosing trees to the Shot Hole Borer we cannot afford to lose the greenery and trees of Burswood Park.
As a cyclist Burswood is already blessed with cycle paths and trees and a wonerfully peaceful atmosphere

State government needs to invest in the already existing infrastructure at Wanneroo Raceway instead of looking for one weekend alternatives which will destroy a beautiful part of the city. Studies and plans have already been drafted for an amazing world class upgrade to Wanneroo where there is plenty of land available for this upgrade and yet the government wants to destroy the middle of the city. The small racetrack next to the airport was closed due to noise complaints but it's next to the airport, yet the state government will build a track in the middle of Burswood? Lost their marbles. Focus on Wanneroo!

Perth has the least amount of green space of any Aust capital city, this development will just add to the “heat island” effect and exacerbate climate change. Not to mention the local habitat destruction, drop in property values and the hundreds of families that gather there every weekend losing a beautiful and peaceful place to gather.

I have been paddling, rowing and walking beside the Swan River for the past 40 years. The quiet, peaceful environment is waht makes it one of the best locations in any capital city. The idea of building a race track makes no sense to me. Why would we spend $217 million on this when we have issues with housing and homelessness. Time for the Labor party to re-focus

This area used to be the Rivervale Tip, then it was turned into the Burswood Island Golf Course in 1985 which improved the whole area. Back in 1909 it was a Sewerage Treatment Plant until 1936. The area is lively and a very pleasant quite residential environment. Now in 2025 the Western Australian Government want to transform it into a noisy, smelly, horrible environment which will add more and more pollution and micro plastics to the environment and have irreparable damage to the wildlife environment which in Modern Day Australia is unacceptable. How about build it in Kings Park... Surely there would be a public outcry about that, so why not this.

Cook may have got back in, but this one point could be his undoing. How about spending $215 million on helping the homeless.

We already have our own racetrack - great eastern highway. Why bring more chaos to a beautiful space. We love living in Burswood and it would be so disappointing to have a motorplex destroy the area. I’m all for an entertainment precinct but keep the cars out of the area!
