You'd think some greased palms to change the zoning would see it worth a whole lot more than $10m.
But that will happen after the old man passes. |

Does the capital improved value include a valuation method for getting the land capital improvable?

It sits right under the flight path for the proposed 3rd or 4th runway at Melbourne Airport and has some extremely strict overlays on it to prevent a repeat of the situation at Essendon & Moorabbin airports. Could only be used as Industrial same as the land also in the Jane Family on the other side of Calder Park Drive across from the 'Dome which is also already zoned Industrial but there's been no movement to use it yet. It's also dead flat so no need to remove all the clean fill Bob Dumped around Calder Park for years. |

Huge shake-up for Calder Raceway
Depends on your definition of clean fill I suppose

I cant comment what is under the Thunderdome but in the later years as the spectator mounds were made bigger and bigger they were only dumping plain old dirt and rocks.
I think they're about to redo the topographical maps to suit the new ground profile in that area |

It wasn't clean-fill when I was there.
Housebricks, bits of broken-up concrete slab, water pipes sticking out of the dirt everywhere. A real hazard at the time. That was when they started to build up the mounds around the start of the drag strip in '05. |

May I help....
Clean fill is a term that is given to soil which contains extremely low levels of contamination. Contamination being organic/non-organic components, like benzene....there's a long list I could give, but watching paint dry is more interesting.... Any soil which contains contamination greater than what is specified in the standards/guidelines, then gets graded accordingly and has to be disposed of correctly... So in this case, even with all the bricks and other crap, the contamination may have been low enough to use as green fill at the time..... The only thing with soil, is once you move it to another location, or put something else in it's place once you remove, contamination can spread from the new or old source, so you can change the classification.... |

Calder has appeared in the local Star Weekly newspaper.
Apparently the local Brimbank Council rate valued the site at $22.8 Million, Calder Park Raceway took them to VCAT arguing the site is disused and only worth $5.9Million. VCAT decided on $10.85 million and has awarded $50,000 costs to Calder Park. |

Post from "Redline Racing Australia" on Facebook with one view on the whole history of the Thunderdome and Calder generally:https://www.facebook.com/HondaVWcomp...17?pnref=story
One person's view obviously but interesting reading and some good photos attached. |

Well, they didn't need to do much CGI to enhance the post apocalyptic theme at Calder.

It looks like they have spent some money since the last time I was there...
