Perth Park is an entertainment and sports precinct under construction in the Burswood area of Perth, Western Australia.

History

In June 2024 the Cook government announced its support to build a street circuit around the Burswood area of Perth, Western Australia.[1] The venue is proposed to replace Wanneroo Raceway as the venue for the Perth Super Sprint.[2] Originally proposed to hold a round of the 2026 Supercars Championship, it is now proposed to host a round of the 2028 season.[3][4]

The proposed street circuit was an issue during the 2025 Western Australian state election, in which the Cook government retained office.[5] The Town of Victoria Park has opposed the proposal with the mayor claiming the government planned to move the Perth Motorplex from Kwinana, but has been dismissed several times.[6][7]

Site establishment works began in February 2026.[8]
