Burswood racetrack opponents vindicated by parliamentary report

A parliamentary report has found that opponents of the Perth Park racetrack project in Burswood had genuine grievances about the multi-million dollar development. The report criticised the state government for starting construction before securing a deal with the supercars governing body, lacking transparency around costs and land swaps with Crown Resort, and failing to consider noise impacts on local residents. Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti has dismissed the findings as a political stunt, while opposition members are calling for her resignation.
