The Wakefield Park circuit in Australia has been forced to close its doors amid an ongoing battle with council over noice restrictions.
The circuit, based in Goulburn in rural New South Wales, was hit hard by a ruling in July from the Land and Environment Court that effectively limited on-track activity to four days per month.
That followed a dispute with the Goulburn Mulwaree Council over noise limits that were imposed as part of development plans lodged by circuit owner the Benalla Auto Club.
Given the Wakefield Park business model is based on track usage, the ruling cast serious doubts over the viability of the venue under the restrictions.
