Another pending motorsports facility in Australia has been placed in the ‘too hard’ basket for good, with plans for the Shoalhaven Motorsport Complex officially abandoned.

Motorcycling NSW - a not-for-profit organisation - made the difficult decision after seven years of non-stop applications, lobbying, thousands of dollars and general hard work.

Why? Because of some plants.

A particularly rare species of orchid - the Leafless Tongue Orchid - has been spotted around the proposed location for the facility at Yerriyong near Nowra, New South Wales.

As a protected species, the cost and logistics of relocating the orchids would quickly overwhelm the club, which has had no choice but to deem the project unfeasible.
