A wealthy rider should purchase that block of land and put one in.

Or a devoted Town Planner could the reigonal stare council to cosider it as an investment into making SE QLD a better place to be by improving liveability and encouraging physical activity to reduce obesity. Stasticts show that Aus is the fattest place in our galaxy.
To be perfectly honest, I think it would be better long term than say stromlo. I'd assume there isnt much the riders are going to do in canberra other then rock up and ride and go home, because in all seirousness, Canberra isnt exactly ranked on the list of Australias best tourist destinations.
On the other hand, a WC in say GC will attract far more riders/spectators form ovreseas and interstate for the sheer fact of the city's tourism reputation. You have the beach, theme parks, Brisbane and Gold coast city's, bloody hunderds of other touristy things to do, and lastly a potentially WC standard track. This means more people will come and more people will stay and more people will be spending more money which is contributing to local businesses as well as contributing to softening the blow of the economic crisis.
About 5Billion is being spent on infrastructure at the moment, why not set aside 40M and build a world class facility at illinbah
. It'll contribute to reducting the impact of the Global exonomic crisis by providing short and long term jobs during the building of, say, a chair lift. Plus jobs for staff and ongoing maintence. It will also be more effective than canberra because people will be less inclined to "leave and go" and instead, people will go and be tourists for a while, spending all their tourist money.
I know that sounds far-fetched, but it would he heck cool!
