The Perth Street Circuit is a proposed street circuit around the Burswood area of Perth, Western Australia.
History
[edit | edit source]In June 2024 the Cook government announced its support to build a street circuit around the Burswood area of Perth, Western Australia.[1] The venue is proposed to replace Wanneroo Raceway as the venue for the Perth Super Sprint.[2] Originally proposed to hold a round of the 2026 Supercars Championship, it is now proposed to host the opening round of the 2027 season.[3]
The proposed street circuit was an issue during the 2025 Western Australian state election, in which the Cook government retained office.[4] The Town of Victoria Park has opposed the proposal with the mayor claiming the government planned to move the Perth Motorplex from Kwinana, but has been dismissed several times.[5][6]
