For those who like to combine business with leisure pursuits, try teeing off on the Greg Norman-designed Brookwater Golf Club or touring the spectacular local vineyards and cellar doors. For the more adventurous, there is bushwalking, canoeing, hot air ballooning, fishing or sky diving – staff at the hotel can help advise which local tourism options most suit your needs.

No V8 Supercars at Willowbank


V8 SUPERCAR officials yesterday said they had no intention of including Ipswich in their 2010 calendar, but Mayor Paul Pisasale said he would not take no for an answer as he tried to negotiate its return.

On Thursday V8 Supercars Australia said they would not put on a race at the Queensland Raceways track at Willowbank this May due to a breakdown in negotiations.

Millions will be wiped from the Ipswich economy – with hotels saying they alone could lose more than $100,000 over the weekend – if emergency negotiations could not change V8 Supercar’s position.

Cr Pisasale said he had been involved in emergency meetings with Sports Minister Phil Reeves to try and save the race.

“I won’t rest until this is sorted out. It’s absolutely essential this race goes ahead and I’ll keep going until it’s back on the calendar,” he said.

A V8 Supercars spokesman said they would work out their final 2010 calendar “without Ipswich in mind”, but Phil Reeves confirmed he had been involved in emergency negotiations to save the race.

“I’ve been working with Mayor Paul Pisasale to see the annual V8 Supercars event at Queensland Raceway continue,” he said.

Metro Hotel general manager Alex van Kersen estimates the cancellation of this year’s V8 Supercar race in Ipswich would cost his business more than $100,000 this year.

Mr van Kersen said he was in disbelief that the money-spinning event could fall by the wayside.
