Default VIC - Petition to stop Banning of motorsport on Private Land

Hey Guys the more sigs the better, this effects my sport and may even effect a lot more motorsport in the future.


Recent changes to Victorian planning controls NOW PROHIBIT a "Motor Racing Track" statewide in new rural zones. The definition of a Motor Racing Track in the planning documents is as follows-

"Land used to race, rally, scramble, or test, vehicles, including
go-karts, motor boats, and motorcycles, and includes other competitive
motor sports."

This new law prevents any legally condcted events including rally,
enduro, mototrials, grasstrack, tractor pulls, water ski and even private
recreational vehicle use. In addition the prohibition extends to events
not requiring any formed or constructed race track or infrastructure. It
also includes one off competitions or training/practice days unless the
land is re-zoned.

While Government representatives agree it was not the intention of the
changes they are not willing to fix the problem!

It's all a revenue raising scheme. Ban them from motorsport on private land, then as some hit the roads, hit them with "anti-hoon" laws, take their car and fine them.

How many people have been killed for paddock bashing, rallying, and hill climbs? Not too many. It's yet another case of Bracks trying to remove any last shred of enjoyment in driving. I don't hill climb, but I know many people who do. I wouldn't mind getting involved myself one day. I enjoy hooning around the paddocks in Dad's Rodeo. I enjoy watching tractor pulls, the ski boat races at Lake Glenmaggie, and Motorcross. If Bracks got his way, all of this would possibly be gone.

I've been there as a spectator before. One of my friends raced there. It's pretty good. An enjoyable day out, even despite not having my own car to race (The EA is certainly not for racing)
