Confederation of Australian Motor Sport race

Victorian Parliament - 22 February 2017 - Ms Kealy - It is fabulous that Rainbow has been chosen as the location for a Confederation of Australian Motor Sport desert enduro race. Second only to the Finke Desert Race, this sporting event will attract significant visitors to the region and help spread the word on what a great part of Australia Rainbow is. I recently toured this area with Ron Ismay, and I would like to congratulate Ron and other locals who have helped attract an event of such significance to our region. The only thing blocking the event from going ahead is approval by Parks Victoria and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. I ask the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change to urgently intervene to deliver these approvals so that this event can be confirmed.
