Nights turn to days

SOUTHERN Downs Regional Council has again changed the number of race days allowed at Stanthorpe’s Carnell Raceway.
Councillors agreed to amend a development approval from September’s meeting. That decision allowed 20 race days per year.
The latest approval includes a trade-off, with the Stanthorpe and District Car Club offering to abandon three practice days and two night entertainment events a year in return for 24 race days per year.
The car club will also be required to seal Rifle Range Road leading to the venue.
An application by the club to fence of part of Rifle Range Road to prevent unauthorised use of the circuit was rejected by council.
