The State Government is delivering an additional $400,000 to drive safety upgrades at the Kalgoorlie International Speedway.
The new investment builds on a $2 million commitment made at the 2017 election, taking the State Government's total investment in the facility upgrades to $2.4 million.
Works will see the existing track fence replaced with modern safety barriers, boosting protection for drivers and spectators and ensuring the venue meets contemporary safety standards.
The upgrade will support the speedway to grow grassroots participation and welcome visiting competitors and supporters to the Goldfields, which will deliver benefits for local tourism and businesses.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2027, with the upgraded facility ready for competitors and fans to enjoy in the 2027-28 racing season.
The works form part of the State Government's PlayOn WA initiative, which is investing in quality community sport and recreation infrastructure across Western Australia.
PlayOn WA will deliver 2,030 infrastructure items by 2030, delivering long-term benefits for communities across the State.
