This will be the 15th consecutive year a round of the championship has been held at Gillman, a record for any track, and all have been with the support of CBS Bins.

This season’s series will be over five rounds in 10 days, with the other rounds at Olympic Park, Mildura (5 January), Undera Park Speedway, Undera (7 January), Diamond Park, Albury–Wodonga (9 January) and Loxford Park Speedway, Kurri-Kurri (12 January).

With only one Australian rider, Jason Doyle, in the 2019 Speedway Grand Prix line-up, all of the riders with future Grand Prix aspirations are expected to ride in the Australian Championship as the first stage of qualifying for the 2020 SGP.
