Auckland Council voted to relocate Western Springs Speedway to Waikaraka Park due to financial losses.

Auckland Council has voted to relocate the Western Springs Speedway, which has operated for 95 years, to Waikaraka Park due to financial losses of $1.2 million annually. The $11 million funding will upgrade Waikaraka Park for new racing events. Despite opposition from the motorsport community and concerns over the decision-making process, the council believes this move will ensure a sustainable future for the sport. The speedway will operate at Western Springs until the end of the 2024/25 season.
