Senator Kate Lundy today is calling on Howard Government Minister Jim Lloyd to re-lease the site of the former drag way for the use of motor sport enthusiasts.
This call is in light of an ACT Government report released today that suggests the development of a facility in the Majura valley would be unlikely to meet applicable environmental noise criteria and would be likely to require substantial additional Government funding.
The site of the former drag way was taken back by the Commonwealth Government in 1998 citing an urgent need for the land and since then the land has remained idle.
Motor sport enthusiasts in the Territory are relying on the Commonwealth and Minister Lloyd to consider their needs seriously. The ACT Government has done everything possible and exhausted all territory land options, it is up to the Commonwealth Government to again consider making the land available and re-lease the former site.
