The event, which was last held in Western Australia in 2006, was supposed to run in south east Queensland next September, however a continual lack of information about the rally has had rally insiders fearing for the future of the event.
This fear has been confirmed with organisers, the I-METT group, who are behind the $650 million project to build a lavish motorsport precinct at Norwell, near the Gold Coast, announcing that they had been forced to delay hosting the WRC round next year because of unforeseen planning delays.
I-METT boss Ron Brown informed CAMS of the decision on Monday.
RallySport Magazine contacted CAMS today, but national Rally Manager, Campbell Andrea, was unavailable for comment.
