New Park Project in Perth

Introduction

The government says yes to the Perth Park project. This new place in Burswood will have a race track for cars.

Main Body

Some local people and the town are not happy. They worry about loud noise from the cars. Now, the government says there can be only one big car race per year for three days. This will keep the noise low. The project costs 217.5 million dollars. Some leaders think this price is too low. They say the cost will go up because a hotel is not in the budget. The government and a company called Crown traded land. Crown gave a big piece of land to the government. The government gave a smaller piece of land to Crown. The government says this is a fair trade.

Conclusion

The park will be finished in late 2027. Some people still disagree about the money and the noise.
