About Albany Motorsport Park

Albany Motorsport Park is a family-friendly, affordable, and sustainable motorsport facility designed to serve the Great Southern Region. It supports a wide range of motorsport disciplines and compatible recreational activities, making the most of shared infrastructure to benefit the entire community.

Albany has a proud motorsport history dating back to the 1930s. This purpose-built venue continues that legacy, offering a safe and modern space for the region’s growing motorsport community.

Motorsport is already a vibrant part of life in Albany and our surrounding areas, supported by strong local clubs and popular events such as the Albany Classic, Show ‘n Shine, and Targa Albany Sprint. While the region has existing venues for speedway and go-karts, there has long been a gap for motorcycle racing and motocross. Albany Motorsport Park helps fill that gap with flexible design features that cater to diverse user groups and meet contemporary safety standards, for motorsport and other activities like cycling.

The venue is operated by Albany Motorsport Venue Inc. (AMV Inc.). Information about upcoming events and programs is available on the https://albanymotorsportpark.com.au .

Noise Management Plan (NMP) and Regulatory Oversight

Stage 1A – NMP Approved for Albany Motorsport Park – Motocross Precinct


The Noise Management Plan (NMP) for the Motocross Precinct has been formally approved. An appealable notice was published in the Government Gazette on 1 August 2025.

The NMP outlines how noise emissions from motorsport activities will be managed to minimise impacts on the surrounding community. It includes clear protocols for operational controls, complaint handling, and ongoing noise monitoring.

Developed by Albany Motorsport Venue Inc. and acoustic consultants, the NMP underwent public consultation and an independent technical review by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER). Under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, the approved NMP allows the venue to operate with noise levels exceeding standard limits, provided all conditions in the plan are met.

The NMP was first released for public comment in February 2025. Following this consultation, the City of Albany received a range of community submissions, including formal feedback and questions taken on notice at a community meeting held on 27 March 2025.

In response, the NMP was revised to address concerns raised by residents, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. Key updates in the final approved version (Version 4.1) include:

  • Clearer limits on the frequency, duration, and scheduling of motocross activities.
  • Improved notification procedures, including advance publication of event calendars and direct email alerts.
  • Strengthened complaint response protocols to ensure timely acknowledgement and resolution.
  • Enhanced modelling and monitoring commitments, including biannual noise assessments and reporting to the City.
  • Integration of feedback from meetings with Albany Motorsport Venue Inc. and community representatives.

The approved NMP supports structured yet flexible scheduling to ensure rider safety and responsiveness to environmental conditions, while maintaining oversight and transparency.

The approved NMP is subject to appeal. An appealable notice was gazetted in the Western Australian Government Gazette on 1 August 2025, confirming the formal approval of the Noise Management Plan (NMP) for the Albany Motorsport Park.

Key Governance Notes

  • The current NMP applies only to the Motocross Precinct.
  • A Conflict of Interest Management Plan (COIMP) was implemented to ensure transparency in the CEO’s role, given the City’s financial and operational involvement in the project.
