Supercars track build underway on the Gold Coast

Work has begun today on the track build for next month’s Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.

The mammoth construction begins just 39 days ahead of Supercars’ biggest party on the streets of Surfers Paradise. Tickets are on sale now.

This year marks the 30th anniversary since Supercars debut running on the famous Surfers Paradise street circuit.

Crews of contractors have begun setting up the 2.96km circuit, including six kilometres of concrete barriers and fencing.

Locals will start seeing the emergence of pit lane along the Gold Coast Highway in the coming weeks along with corporate and grandstand facilities.

The start of work this morning will see the installation of barriers and debris fencing along the Gold Coast Highway and Surfers Paradise Boulevard.

Event Manager Matthew Ramsden was on the ground to oversee this week’s initial stages of the track build, along with local business owners.

“It's very exciting, today really kicks off day one of the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, with the event build starting to take place now,” Ramsden said.

“It’s going to be a big lead-up to what is hopefully the biggest Supercars event that we have seen on the Gold Coast.

“For the next six weeks you will see the Surfers Paradise precinct start to change, we’ve got over six kilometres of concrete barriers going in, it’s going to be an ever-changing landscape.

“Main Beach will be as busy as ever over coming weeks as the track precinct comes to life, and we encourage fans who want a sneak peek of the circuit to get in and support the local businesses that play such a critical role in the success of this event every year.

“The 2023 event saw a record crowd of 201,971 over three days and achieved an economic impact to the Gold Coast of $58.05m, a growth of $2.12m from the 2022 event.

“Bringing it back and making it bigger and better than ever is our goal every year, and over coming days we will be making some big announcements about the 2024 entertainment that we are very excited about.

“We have almost sold out the corporate facilities, and grandstand tickets are getting very close to being sold out as well. I would advise everybody who wants to attend the event, to get their tickets now.”

The Gold Coast event features some of the most in demand corporate facilities of any event on the calendar and in 2024 most are nearing capacity.
