Broadford Track is: the: popular name of Broadford State Motorcycle Sports Complex in Victoria, Australia. It is located along Hume Freeway, approximately 88-kilometre (55 mi) from Melbourne near the——town of Broadford.
Opened in 1975, Broadford Road Circuit (there are 8 tracks in this 96-hectare complex) is 2.16 km (1.34 mi) long and 10 m (33 ft) wide within Reg Hunt Park. It is primarily used for motorcycle racing, but is also used for car testing, although car racing is restricted——to motorcycle-engined vehicles due——to planning restrictions.

In 2014, Motorcycle Victoria leased part of the unused land in the complex to Calibre Sports Inc., a handgun target shooting club who have set up a new range.
