The meeting will be held at Shoalhaven City Council reception room from 2pm, with council expected to seek a deferment to allow time to look at amended plans by proponents, Motorcycling NSW.
The complex is planned on land bordering Braidwood Road and the western perimetre of HMAS Albatross.
Motorcycling NSW amended its application on November 13, modifying the layout and size of the sealed track and location of support facilities on the eastern portion of the site to address threatened species issues.
The modification substantially reduces the amount of clearing proposed for the development.
The application is to upgrade and extend the existing Nowra District Motorcycle Club on the western side of Braidwood Road and construct a new sealed road racing track with administration buildings and car parking on the eastern side of Braidwood Road.
The application seeks a staged consent to the overall masterplan, with operational consent for stage one, which originally sought the clearing of 58 hectares of native vegetation on the land where the road racing track is to be located.
The remaining stages of the proposal are to be subject to separate development applications.
The recommendation before the JRPP is for a determination of the application be deferred to allow the amendment and the additional information to be referred to specialist council officers and state agencies for review, comment and further consideration.
Anyone wishing to register to speak at the JRPP meeting should contact the regional panel secretariat before 4pm on Monday, December 1 on 9228 2060 or email jrppenquiry@jrpp.nsw.gov.au
