The onus is on venue operators to ensure the venue meets any environmental, town planning, building, safety or other local government or state government regulations.
Typically, venue licences for Road Racing circuits are issued directly by Motorcycling Australia (MA), while other venue licences are issued by the State Controlling Bodies (SCB’s).
Venue Licence Conditions
The Venue Licence shall state any specific licensing conditions which maybe applicable to that venue (i.e. the installation of air fence at Road Racing venues).
A track map and a plan of the venue should be attached to the Licence application. The documents must show the location and number of track marshals necessary for competition.
The documents plan should also show the location of medical facilities and the parking position of first aid/ambulance vehicles if they are required which should be incorporated into your venue maps provided to Media, Officials etc.
Venue Inspectors may complete a Targeted Risk Assessment if they think something does not comply with the Venue requirements.
For more information about Venue Licensing, please contact MA directly for Road Race Venues and your SCB for all other venues.
If you wish to run an event at a venue that is not yet licensed, please contact MA or your SCB to arrange this as soon as possible.
