Dust Management Report Q&A

Q: What factors are likely to influence the generation of dust?
A: Meteorological factors need to be considered when evaluating the risk of dust generation. These factors include wind speed and direction and the soil moisture content, which relates directly to recent rains or heavy dews. These factors will substantially influence the day-to-day risk of dust generation and suspension.

Q: What can be done to reduce the generation of dust from both rally cars and spectator cars?
A: A variety of measures can be implemented to reduce the generation of dust as well as reduce the effects of airborne dust. These include wetting of surfaces (kept damp not wet), dust suppressants, dust barrier fences and in some cases air conditioners within closed buildings.

Q: How can I provide feedback or make a complaint if dust is problem?
A: Repco Rally Australia values feedback as it helps to continually improve its events. Feedback or complaint forms will be made available for members of the public to complete and provide contact information, so all feedback can be assessed and acted on as necessary.
