Mayor's Column

This weekend, the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour returns with a huge grid of competitors, following 2025’s record-breaking field, the largest ever to start a Bathurst endurance race. This year also marks a special milestone: a decade of the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour. Yet the mountain’s motorsport heritage stretches much further back, with the very first race meeting at Mount Panorama held over Easter in 1938. 

If you’re looking for something to enjoy over the Easter long weekend, I’d encourage you to head up to the Mountain and soak in the atmosphere, history, and racing action. 

I hope everyone has a great Easter long weekend. Take the time to unwind and enjoy the well-deserved break with family and friends. If you are travelling this weekend, please take extra care. The roads can often be unpredictable, so slow down, stay alert and look out for one another. If you are travelling to or from Sydney, please drive safely and allow extra travel time.
