Qld to host Indy for another five years
The State Government plans to improve the running of the annual Indy Car Grand Prix on the Gold Coast with new legislation introduced into Parliament.
The bill supports the finalisation of a commercial agreement to extend the Indy 300 motor races for another five years.
It also clarifies certain powers of the race promoters.
Sports Minister Terry Mackenroth has told Parliament the Indy injects about $50 million a year into Queensland's economy and gives the state global exposure.
"It has achieved significant international media exposure, which has boosted tourism and Queensland's growing reputation as Australia's sporting events capital," he said.
"The event is broadcast to 195 countries throughout the world."
