Campsite Bookings Extended to Tuesday Following Repco Bathurst 1000
Bathurst 1000 Campers at Mount Panorama and Council-run campsites are being provided the option to remain onsite until 10am Tuesday morning, extending the regular campground departure time of 12pm Monday.
This initiative follows Council's approval for $185,000 in NSW Government grant funding to hold a CBD event on Monday afternoon, 12 October, to delay the departure of some race fans and reduce traffic impacts on the Great Western Highway.
Supercars has announced they are extending the traditional campground departure time to provide fans with flexibility, spread departures across a few days and alleviate traffic congestion on key transport routes out of Bathurst.
Council has similarly made arrangements to extend stays at Council-managed CBD camping sites for those wanting to remain in Bathurst for the Monday activation. Information about this will be provided directly to affected campers in the coming days.
Council is working hard to put together a captivating Monday afternoon event that gives visitors a genuine reason to stay in Bathurst a little longer and is also something our local community can come out and enjoy.
Stay tuned, further program details coming soon.
