Cash boost for Premier
PREMIER Speedway will benefit to the tune of $350,000 if the Liberal Party is elected to govern.
Member for Wannon Dan Tehan paid a special visit to the Warrnambool track last Sunday night to announce that an elected Liberal Government would deliver vital safety upgrades at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway.
“This commitment ensures that motorsport fans and the community can enjoy events in a safe and modern environment,” Mr Tehan said.
“Members of the Premier Speedway Club raised the need for this upgrade to protect spectators and enhance the venue.”
It is anticipated the project will include replacing catch fencing, installing improved crowd control barriers, and completing key electrical works.
This will ensure Premier Speedway continues to host major regional events safely.
“This project will boost regional tourism, support local jobs and improve public safety at a much-loved venue,” Mr Tehan said.
He said the commitment was part of the Liberals’ plan to strengthen local communities and to get Australia “back on track.”
“This investment would allow us to carry out some important safety works,” Premier Speedway general manager Michael Parry said.
“This is a win for our club, our supporters and the broader motorsport community.
“We look forward to working with Dan (Tehan) to deliver this upgrade.”
