Broome Motocross club revs up with $77k State boost for new dirt kart track

The Broome Junior-Senior Motocross Club has scored a $77,000 funding boost for a major track extension, including the installation of a dirt-kart track and new ablution facilities.

The money is part of the State Government’s PlayOn WA initiative, which is pumping $2.8 million into grassroots sport and recreation projects in Western Australia.

The funding will go towards a track extension at the motocross precinct, including the installation of a dirt-kart track and new toilet and washroom facilities.

Member for Kimberley Divina D’Anna congratulated the club, saying the upgrades would deliver lasting benefits.

“Congratulations to the Broome Motocross Club who will be receiving $77,139 as part of the Cook Labor Government’s Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund,” she said.

“The upgrades are guided by our PlayOn WA: 2030 by 2030 initiative to deliver 2030 community sport and recreation infrastructure projects across WA by the year 2030, helping to deliver a lasting and positive impact in many communities.”

Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti said the grants were about building healthier, more connected communities.

“Through the PlayOn WA initiative we’re delivering high-quality and accessible facilities that are vital for building healthy and connected communities,” she said.

“By investing in lighting, change rooms and playing surfaces, we’re helping to create safer, more accessible spaces for everyone – whether you’re playing, coaching or cheering from the sidelines.

“These grants are part of the WA Government’s ongoing commitment to strengthening grassroots sport and recreation, and ensuring local facilities keep pace with the needs of our state’s growing communities.”

The Broome motocross upgrade was among 32 projects funded Statewide in the latest round.
