If they want to hold events there of international status, then the safety measures need to be of an international standard.
Much has been said by various people within the sport from all levels, that the systems and policies in place now, are no longer adequate for that part of the track, for the likes of GT and Supercars.
Short term solution would be to implement proper lighting systems that can be operated instantaneously from the relevent flag points, and most importantly, positioned where drivers can actually see them at all times of the day. I cannot 100% confirm, but the current situation relies on a call from Race Control to allow the lights to function. When approach speeds are north of 200km/h, with almost no room to take evasive action, you tell me if this is good enough. It is also alleged that the lights are not very effective due to their design and postion, and are difficult to sight by the drivers.
Long term, could perhaps involve moving some walls back.
