The main contractor was Shepherd with Bernhards responsible for laying the Mondo synthetic surface and Athletic Markings Ltd. responsible for the line markings. The track has a 4 lane 200m circuit with an 8 lane 60m sprint straight in the middle. The track surface was installed around December 2001 and the line marking was done in January 2002.
