Brisbane

Bit of a shame for car enthusiasts. There are not many tracks around SE QLD.

However, the changing landscape in the motor industry, not least of which is the rise of electric vehicles, meant the economics of such a track no longer stacked up.

This doesn't make much sense. EVs can also be driven on a track. I'm guessing the real reason for stopping development is general economic concerns.

I’m personally glad to see it get canceled. I’m not against a closed track car shopping mall but not at the airport. It doesn’t send a good image to tourists the first thing they see when they arrive at Brisbane is cars hooning. The cancellation hopefully is a sign that people are moving away from even owning a car.

I hope the space gets turned into something everyone can enjoy.

An auto mall is obviously for someone with a lot more disposable income than myself. I thought the internet basically killed this style of retail

It doesn't affect me directly since I live well away from Brisbane, but not building a track is disappointing. Anyone interested in cars or bikes is forever getting told they should take them to the track instead of daring to use any real percentage of their capabilities on public roads, but tracks are dwindling across Australia and very few are being built. Next to an airport seems a pretty good place to build one as you're colocating a noisy development with an existing noisy location - hopefully reducing the multitudes of future noise complaints you risk trying to build a track anywhere near where people may build housing in the next few decades.
