Black Rock Secures Funding – And The Nation’s Attention

Written by Black Rock Motor Resort | Jan 27, 2026 5:03:39 AM

We’re proud to share that Black Rock Motor Resort has officially secured funding to complete its $150 million luxury driving and lifestyle destination—Australia’s first motor resort.

Set on 650 acres of reimagined coal country in the Lake Macquarie region, just 90 minutes north of Sydney, the project has already attracted strong interest from discerning enthusiasts, real estate investors and media alike. With a Tilke-designed FIA Grade 2 5.4km circuit, handling centre (integrated skid pan and go-karting circuit), luxury villas, hotel and function centre, and a Members Lodge - an exclusive members-only clubhouse, the Black Rock experience is unlike anything in the Southern Hemisphere.

The announcement has been featured by major news outlets, including:
