The 2023 State Rally will be held in Pingelly at the Pingelly Recreation and Cultural Centre (PRACC) from Thu Oct 12 to Mon Oct 16.
Pingelly Recreation and Cultural Centre (PRACC)
This recently built 5,470 sqm facility will be the location for the rally.
It was built for sporting, recreation, and cultural purposes and opened in January 2019.
The PRACC is a unique facility in the region equipped with a bar, bistro, indoor sports hall (Basketball, Netball, Badminton and Volleyball), synthetic tennis courts, 10 rink bowls green, sporting oval, gymnasium and multiple function and meeting room.
The PRACC’s Stringybark Bistro is named after the stringybark timber the PRACC was built of. The bistro provides a good selection of meals
Redgum Caravanners – Your Hosts
Redgum Caravanners Cub has been appointed by ACCWA to organise, manage and host fellow caravanners at the 2023 rally.
Pingelly is a small town that has an excellent recreation facility that will cater well for the needs of the rally. The shire has welcomed the event and see it as a great benefit to the community.
In October 2023, subject to funding grants, they are planning a month-long festival of Food, Arts & Music with food trucks a possibility. This could coincide with the rally providing benefits to both groups.
While the town may be small there are many attractions in the area that will keep attendees busy if they don’t want to venture far out of town.
Rally Planning
Planning is underway for the details of the event and these will be made available at appropriate times.
Registration is expected to commence from March following discussions with the Shire and the PRACC to determine final costs and discussions on the provision of meals at the facility.
An Indicative Rally Schedule has been developed. This will be expanded as planning progresses and resources and facilities are developed.
