Circuit Italia is a permanent race track under construction in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. [1]
Planning for a permanent circuit alongside the existing Ringwood Motor Racing Complex in Port Stephens began in 2013, with local businessman Matthew Higgins confirming AU$12 million of investment in the project in July 2016. [2] [3] Construction began on the circuit – named after its address on Italia Road – in 2017, with 30% of the project completed prior to a hiatus related to Higgins' other projects. [4] [5]
Following a lengthy silence on the progression of construction, asphalt laying began in July 2023. [6]
