Breaking: Design for MotoGP street circuit released
Nearly 400 trees will be removed in Adelaide's eastern parklands to make way for a new MotoGP street circuit costing $96 million, the South Australian government has revealed.
The South Australian government has unveiled the design for a 4.13 kilometre-long MotoGP street circuit set to debut in Adelaide in November 2027. Nearly 400 trees will be removed in the eastern parklands to accommodate the $96 million course. Premier Peter Malinauskas announced that 42 significant trees, 335 regulated trees, 88 relocated trees, and 22 trees under investigation will be taken down, with 3,770 trees to be replanted on a 10 to 1 basis.
While some protests arose over tree loss, with over 43,000 signatures on a petition, Malinauskas emphasized the government's commitment to investing in Adelaide's parklands.
