The new race track planned to be built in Cromwell has reached the Resource Consent stage. It is planned as a 3.7 km track to be built to international standards with pit garages, grandstand, test areas etc.
A news report is online at: http://www.stuff.co.nz/southlandtimes/4104591a6570.html
The organisers have recognised that it isn't viable if used solely for racing, so are incorporating a summer test area to be used in conjuction with the current snow farm test area. They are planning for:
Vehicle Proving (testing) facilities.
Commercial park.
Driver school and training facilities.
Tourist activities.
Corporate activities.
Filming venue.
Motorsport.
They are seeking submissions in support of the proposal, and these submissions close on 19th July.
I have attached a submission form and some of the details from the RMA consent application. I have a copy of the full application and am happy to answer what questions I can.
Note that a copy of your submission must be forwarded to the Central Otago District Council (address on the submission form), and to the applicant:
Cromwell Motorsport Park Trust Ltd.
Cubitt Consulting Ltd,
PO Box 1378
