Speedway Australia Strategic Plan 2026–2030

Building a Safe, Sustainable and Nationally Aligned Future for Speedway

Speedway Australia’s Strategic Plan 2026–2030 sets out a clear, nationally consistent approach to governing, developing and supporting speedway across Australia. As the recognised governing body, the organisation is focused on strengthening safety, integrity, participation and long‑term sustainability, while supporting clubs, venues and participants at all levels of the sport.

 

Our Purpose, Vision and Mission

Purpose

Vision

A strong and sustainable future for speedway across Australia.

Mission

To lead, govern, protect and advance speedway through national standards, strong safety and integrity frameworks, and practical support for clubs, venues and participants.

 

Strategic Pillars

Our work is focused across three interconnected pillars:

 

  1. Governance, Safety and Integrity

We are strengthening nationally consistent rules, policies and integrity systems to ensure safe and fair competition. This includes:

 - Modernising the rulebook and policy framework

- Implementing a national venue safety and compliance framework

- Aligning with national integrity standards and partner organisations

- Establishing advisory and oversight mechanisms to support best practice governance

 

  1. Participation, Pathways and Community

We are growing participation and improving the experience of everyone involved in speedway by:

- Expanding inclusive and accessible participation programs

- Strengthening development pathways for officials and participants

- Supporting youth engagement and under‑represented groups

- Enhancing the value and experience of licence and permit holders

 

  1. Advocacy, Funding and Industry Support

We are supporting clubs, venues and the broader sport through:

- Targeted grant and rebate programs

- Support for accessing government and external funding

- Advocacy to strengthen recognition and investment in speedway

- Recognition programs to celebrate excellence and contribution

 

Organisational Capability

To deliver these priorities, Speedway Australia is strengthening its internal capability through:

- Digital transformation and improved national data systems

- More efficient and consistent service delivery

- Strong financial planning, governance and sustainability

- Disciplined investment management to support long‑term outcomes

 

These enablers ensure the organisation is fit‑for‑purpose, accountable, and positioned for national leadership.

 

Delivering the Plan

Implementation is phased to ensure structured and sustainable delivery:

- 2026–2027: Establish governance, safety, integrity and digital foundations

- 2027–2029: Scale participation, programs and national capability

- 2030: Embed consistency, performance and long‑term sustainability

 

This staged approach balances ambition with organisational capacity and ensures reforms are consultation-led and practically implemented.
