Dear Hon. Mia Davies MLA BMM (Minister of Sport and Recreation) and Ron Alexander (Director General, Department of Sport and Recreation),

The Strategic Direction Report from the Motorcycle Safety Review group completed in late 2015 recommended that additional training would be beneficial to reducing the number of deaths and injuries on Perth roads. With the recent closure of Barbagallo Raceway to motorcycle rider training, coaching and competition there is currently no Perth metropolitan facility to teach riders the safe operation of a motorcycle and to further develop their riding skills.

Furthermore many local businesses, clubs, and members are dependent upon motorcycle rider training, coaching and competition for their income and lifestyle. The closure of Barbagallo raceway to motorcycles is already impacting significantly on these businesses and clubs, and the impact will worsen with any delays to the point where they may be forced to close.

I call upon the Minister for Sport and Recreation and the Director General of the Department of Sport and Recreation, to work with key user groups to develop a structured plan to ensure the swift implementation of the required safety controls to facilitate the return and ongoing future health of motorcycle rider training, coaching and competition at Barbagallo Raceway.

I support the swift and safe return of motorcycle rider training, coaching and competition to Barbagallo Raceway.
