Caboolture Coastal Edge Could Host Queensland’s Biggest Motorsport Venue
When Andrew “Aussie” Corbet looks across the 404-hectare block of land his family bought, just east of Caboolture, he sees more than paddocks and scrub. He imagines the roar of engines, the cheer of a crowd, and the hum of community life around a brand-new motorsport hub that could put the Moreton Bay region on the map.
It’s a vision with a $20-million price tag—one the Corbet family says they’re prepared to cover themselves. This isn’t about chasing profit, Andrew explains; it’s about creating a lasting home for a sport that has been losing ground in South-East Queensland as speedways and motocross tracks shut down. For thousands of riders and drivers, from young kids on dirt bikes to seasoned professionals, that has meant long drives, or worse, no safe place to compete at all.
From Paddock to Potential
The land, tucked between Bribie Island Road and Beachmere Road, offers space to dream big. Plans include a speedway circuit, motocross and BMX-style tracks, a driver training area, and facilities for sprint cars, dirt track racing, and super sedans. If all goes ahead, the venue could host up to 10,000 spectators—enough to fill the air with the kind of energy that attracts not just fans, but businesses, too.
For families moving to the area, the park could be more than a weekend spectacle. It’s expected to inject $13 million a year into the local economy, support more than a hundred jobs during construction, and create 42 permanent roles once it’s up and running. Tourism operators, cafes, hotels—everyone stands to gain when visitors arrive for big events.
Listening to the Locals
On the Moreton Motorsport Park Facebook page, ideas are rolling in. Locals have suggested a go-kart track, accessible practice days, and careful placement to keep the noise away from homes. There’s excitement about the shorter travel times for fans and competitors, and optimism about what the project could mean for young drivers who’ve been forced to train in far-off towns.
Still, there are cautionary voices. Some worry about noise complaints from future housing developments. Others are concerned about environmental impacts. The Corbets say they’re tackling those issues head-on, with noise testing, flood planning, and ecological studies underway.
A Long Road Ahead
No development application has been lodged yet, and the approval process could take two to three years. Andrew says that’s time well spent—it means they can work with the motorsport community to get the design right and make sure the park serves both its competitors and its neighbours.
For now, the vision remains on paper. But for people thinking of making Moreton Bay their home, it’s another sign of the region’s momentum—a mix of lifestyle, opportunity, and the promise of a place where the engines might one day run as loud as the community’s ambition.
