South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas has unveiled a simulation of the new Adelaide street circuit, which will host the Australian MotoGP Grand Prix from next year.<\/p>\n

The project, which is expected to be completed around November 2027, when the race is scheduled to take place, represents an investment of close to \u20ac60million (A$96m), Malinauskas revealed.<\/p>\n

The circuit will be built in the area formerly occupied by the track that hosted the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix until 1995. It will measure 4.13 kilometres and feature 15 corners, with the layout incorporating re-interpretations of several sections of the old venue, including Stag Corner, Rundle Road and Brewery Bend.<\/p>\n

Simulations carried out for the project estimate a top speed of around 343km\/h for MotoGP bikes, while the projected lap time for the premier-class machines is approximately 1m26s.<\/p>\n

One of the most controversial aspects of the project, given the scale of the construction work required, has been its environmental impact.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment will involve the removal of 42 trees classified as ‘significant’, along with a further 335 trees that the South Australian government has categorised as “regulated, unregulated, invasive, dead or in poor condition”.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another 88 trees will be relocated, while a further 22 are currently “under investigation”, according to Malinauskas, who also said there are currently 8,895 trees within the circuit precinct and that 95% of them will remain “untouched” during the redevelopment.<\/p>\n

Of the A$96m investment, A$15m will be allocated to a package aimed at restoring habitats for various animal species and green areas, including the Torrens River.<\/p>\n

“We have worked closely with the Conservation Council to ensure this project delivers the best possible outcome for all South Australians,” Malinauskas said.<\/p>\n

He also committed to planting 10 new trees for every tree removed, meaning around 3,770 trees will ultimately be planted.<\/p>\n

The action plan is intended to address the concerns of environmental groups that have staged protests against the project in recent months. Those campaigns led to 43,000 people signing a petition calling for the project to be halted.<\/p>\n
