Following a successful launch to the event in 2018 it is back on the CAMS Australian Rally Championship calendar.
Organisers said the inaugural event was a great success - winning two awards and many accolades from competitors and spectators.
"Following on from this success, we are aiming at running an even tighter ship with shorter days and even more action," they said.
This year will also see the addition of a round of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship which should increase the international contingent.

The rally is being held from Friday to Sunday, June 21-23 and will again incorporate a Friday night super special stage at the Inveresk Roundhouse which attracted more than 5000 spectators last year and is expected to prove similarly popular.
The event begins with a ceremonial start in the Inveresk Precinct and a 1km spectator stage.
Crews will then tackle 200km of rally stages in Northern forests over the Saturday and Sunday, before finishing in Launceston for the finish and podium celebrations.
Organisations are also seeking volunteers to help run the event. For more details visit www.rallytas.com.au.
Tasmania previously hosted the ARC in 2009-10 in the North West, and Safari Tasmania was staged in the Huon Valley in 2006.
