Proposed temporary restricted areas for the Phillip Island Moto Grand Prix 2025

Professional Helicopter Services are proposing to establish two temporary restricted areas (TRAs) in the vicinity of Phillip Island racetrack.

The issue

As in previous years, a TRA is proposed to be established around Phillip Island Moto Grand Prix (GP) racing track from 17 to 19 October 2025, due to increased helicopter activity associated with the event (TRA-MOTOGP).  The dimensions of TRA-MOTOGP are unchanged from previous years.  In addition, a larger TRA is proposed for two Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) flying displays to be conducted on 19 October (TRA-DISPLAY).

Purpose

To provide notification of the upcoming Moto GP event at Phillip Island and to raise awareness of the increased activity in the area.

The following TRAs are proposed:

TRA-MOTOGP
Lateral Limits: Within 2 nautical miles (n mile) radius of 383010S 1451355E
