I don't think it can be sold as development and I guess it is in the middle of no where so it's not like they can make a suburb out of it. GM was so lucky to sell it last year as quick as they did. I didn't expect Lang Lang PG to be taken up so quickly. I guess the next owners will have to deal with the preservation of the wildlife that is contained within the compound.

Moved to the Pub as it's not really appropriate in the technical sections.

I'm with the Greenies on this one. :cool:
Reportedly .... they want it preserved as is, the journalist-proof fence around it has kept out wildlife predators, and some threated animals and birds are thriving.
Where is money going to come from to do that ? The end of the rainbow ? Just a minor matter for Greenies.

Maybe 500 JCF members can put in 70K and own it ourselves. Open it up to special drive days allowing 50 or so drivers in to experience the track. Holden used to have 100 odd people spending time at the same time around different parts of the track. But where would the vehicles come from?

The old Chysler test track is now the Bend motorsport park, so do the same with Lang Lang....
