Electric go-kart track next on agenda for Brisbane Airport
Brisbane Airport is set to add Queensland’s largest electric go-kart circuit to its growing list of innovative commercial developments on land adjoining the gateway.
In partnership with Game Over, the track will be located at Skygate, Brisbane’s fastest-growing lifestyle hub.
Indeed, the spectacular multi-level karting raceway is expected to be the centreiece of the development, with large fleet of karts catering for guests from as young as four years old.
The new family entertainment venue will also feature an eight-lane ten-pin bowling alley, the latest arcade games and range of interactive attractions, as well as a food and beverage precinct.
There will also be dedicated spaces for birthday parties, corporate events and group functions.
The new venue is set to open at Skygate in 2027, in a 3,600m2 purpose-built facility.
Game Over will join a growing line-up of major attractions at Skygate that include indoor entertainment venue Area 51, Golf Central and the popular Landers Pocket.
Skygate is the home of DFO Brisbane and Queensland’s only 24/7 Woolworths, plus offers ample free parking and easy access to arterial roads.
Brisbane Airport’s executive general manager for commercial, Scott Norris, described the addition of Game Over as another milestone in Skygate’s transformation from a retail only precinct into one where visitors can spend an entire day.
He enthused: “Skygate is evolving into much more than just a shopping destination. We’re creating a place where people can come together to enjoy memorable experiences, whether that’s racing friends on the go-kart track or teeing off at the driving range, followed by a bite to eat afterwards.
“Every new attraction adds another reason for families, friends, visitors and locals to visit, stay longer and keep coming back. We’re building a destination that offers something exciting for every age and interest.”
The announcement comes as Brisbane Airport continues to deliver its A$5 billion Future BNE transformation, strengthening the airport’s role as a gateway and economic powerhouse for Queensland.
