Unfortunately, the 2005 rally appears to be the final one staged in Western Australia. The holders of the rally contract, the Western Australia Tourism Comission, have decided to cancel it. It is unlikely that CAMS, the Australian National Motor Sport will find suitable roads anywhere else in the country, and therefore the 2005 Rally Australia could be the last.
