Eastern Creek Speedway
Project Background
The previous speedway site in Clyde is required for use by the State-significant Sydney Metro West project. Replacing the Clyde speedway, a world-class speedway has been built within Western Sydney Parklands at Eastern Creek. TK Business Group was engaged on this project initially to provide constructability advisory services and then to provide an oversight role on behalf of the client while construction took place during 2021.
Program Scope
The project delivered:
- A new world-class clay-based racetrack for both speedway cars and motorcycles including sprint, wingless sprint, street stockers, V8 dirt modified and Formula 500 cars
- A new grandstand and terraced seating to accommodate up to 7000 spectators
- Public amenities, corporate boxes, food, beverage, and merchandise outlets
- Dedicated parking for speedway competitors and spectators
- Additional overflow parking with flexibility to be used for Dragway events
- Dual access to the precinct by creating new vehicle access to the speedway pit area via a new intersection built off Ferrers Road
- A dedicated competitor pit area to service the speedway
- Workshops, garages and trackside support services
TK Business Group provided constructability advisory services during design and development of the Eastern Creek Speedway. TK also provided, on behalf of the client, management oversight of project delivery by the main construction contractor.
Project Challenges & Highlights
The main challenge for this project was to complete the works within a non-negotiable timeframe, which was accomplished. TK Business Group was involved in the development and design phase, which allowed the construction program to be reduced based on products and techniques adopted from our recommendations. We also provided planning advice to expedite the approval timeframe for the development.
