I agree its Tempe
I am pretty sure thats the Chandler Sleaman Centre Velodrome in brisbane, the british track team trained there before the sydney oly's and the worlds the year before (according to chris hoys biography). I lived in a house backing onto the centre and would jump the fence and go around the blue with my TT bike. The track and swimming centre were made for the 1982 Commonweath games is set in bushland and is an awesome track to ride on. The centre also has a 2k ring road that they do running races and crits on. (they also use the carpark for old school rollerskate races...so 70s)

It has not escaped my attention that there are people within the Club who have tendencies towards Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I include myself, since I don't seem to be able to leave this question alone.
In the grandstand at Dunc Grey, there are seats which are yellow and others that are brown, and the pattern is not completely rational, especially in the top row of seats. What you see in the video:
Is exactly the same pattern as at Dunc Grey. Even if they worked from the same template of a velodrome in Qld, surely that pattern is an accident of what was available for seat-colours:
