The initial 730-metre race circuit was constructed in 1968 and the first race meeting was staged in March of the following year.[3] The circuit was bitumen sealed in 1997 and an extension to 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) was subsequently undertaken.[3] A further extension to 2.1 kilometres (1.3 mi) was completed in 2002 and the venue hosted its first Queensland Motor Racing Championships round the same year.[3] In 2007 it hosted its first national championship races, the Formula Vee Nationals and the Australian Improved Production Nationals.[3]
