See our website (www.savelakeside.org) as more exciting updates will be posted.

For now Heritage matters and talks regarding Lakeside's possible Heritage future are progressing very positively.

Friends of Lakeside have achieved several major goals in saving Lakeside, however we still need some effort to compete our task.

Recently a possible merge with a new group has been put aside to protect the progress & work already completed. We will continue with our own endeavours and assist any groups wherever possible.

In its hey-day Lakeside was listed in the top 100 circuits in the world, as way back then, Lakesides Friends group of people has the same enthusiasm and dedication as did the founder Mr Sid Sakzewski to see Queenslands Heritage Home of Motor Sport at Lakeside.

Lakeside is an 'Icon' in some ways more famous in the world than at home. Queenslanders can be proud and build a better complex and return Lakeside to the world stage in Revival, we endeavour with the P.R.S.C. and the community to prove this so, time will tell I am sure........more soon.
