Maybe the Qld Teams might chip in for the "safety upgrade" - they do test there ?.
Could Roger & Roland buy the circuit from ICC ?.
The hard sell will be convincing the punters that street circuits are safer than an FIA compliant permanent facility, when they drop the QR Round from the 2018 championship.

That could be the answer, to buy it,but at the moment,there is a lease on the facility, held by John T.
The area is all Govt/Council land ,(in the old days Crown Land), the mines have the land around it, Tea Tree land fill site next door.
The new make up of Ipswich council is not looking at spending money on the area like the former mayor was keen to do.
It is the right place to build , as it falls under the Amberley Air Force air space,so you cannot be shut down,like Lakeside.
Just have to convince the Govt/Council to upgrade the highway and road networks to get the punters in and out
