Historically the venue has hosted many important motorcycle speedway events, including qualifying rounds of the Speedway World Championship[6][7] and multiple finals of the Australian Solo Championships, the first in 1979.[8]
The 2023 edition of the Australian Championships was cancelled due to the surrounding area being flooded when the Murray River broke its banks.[9]
