Having been responsible for the design, development and construction of the Perth Motorplex in 2000, Gary Miocevich has been forced to retire, as he deals with health related issues.

“I’m very proud of our achievements at the Perth Motorplex,” he said. “We developed a concept and worked with the State Government to secure the site and funding required. We then built it and started racing on the 15th of December, 2000. Through the hard work of many, we have been recognised as Australia’s most attended permanent Motorsport venue.”

“It’s a great legacy for Western Australian Motorsport” he added.

In the meantime, a Perth Motorplex spokesperson said the venue will continue with its innovative and strategic growth strategies. Long time General Manager Kevin Prendergast will continue in his position but will now also become a board member.
