Construction began with the kart track in 1983, featuring a 480-meter international-standard layout completed at a cost of $83,000, designed and project-managed by engineering firm Gutteridge Haskins & Davies on behalf of the Darwin Karting . This track, part of a proposed complex advocated by the Darwin Motorsports Council, shifted karting operations away from the temporary 13 Mile Circuit and included plans for a future 400-meter extension. The complex expanded with the drag strip in 1984, following the government's selection of the 94-hectare Hidden Valley site in 1979 to replace the deteriorating Livingston strip. The quarter-mile drag strip, built to standards with a level surface and 1% crossfall, opened on , 1985, hosting its first race meeting and officially declared by Marshall Perron in the presence of representatives.

Ongoing maintenance and safety improvements have sustained the facility's viability, with key projects including a full resurfacing in 2014, replacement of armco barriers with ones on the drag strip in 2010, and installation of retaining walls in high-risk turns as part of a $9.5 million program.
