COFFS Harbour has been announced by Karting Australia as the host city for the final round of the 2025 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship.

The ‘Grand Final’ of Australia’s premier karting Championship will take place in the picturesque seaside city of Coffs Harbour from 5-7 September.

The announcement follows the Championship’s successful debut at the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club in 2024, which generated an estimated $1.56 million in economic impact through visiting competitors, teams and spectators.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the Australian Kart Championship to Coffs Harbour,” said Mayor Nikki Williams. “The event not only showcases elite karting talent but also brings significant economic and community benefits to our city.

“We look forward to working with Karting Australia to make the 2025 Grand Final an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.”

Karting Australia Chief Executive Officer Kelvin O’Reilly highlighted the importance of the partnership.

“The Australian Kart Championship is much more than a world-class karting competition – it’s an economic powerhouse for the Australian karting industry, our host clubs and their communities.

“Having the City of Coffs Harbour recognise the scale and value of hosting a round of the AKC is testament to the impact our sport delivers,” said O’Reilly.

“We are excited to be coming back to Coffs Harbour so soon and look forward to our competitors and spectators enjoying the great facilities at the Club and hospitality of the city.

“The 2025 Grand Final will be a celebration of the best in karting, and we are excited to continue building on the success of our partnership with Coffs Harbour.

“This event promises to set new benchmarks for both competition and community engagement.”
