The series will stage its final single-driver round ahead of the endurance races, with three solo sprint races at the newly-renamed Shell V-Power Motorsport Park.
Each race will be a 20-lap, 100-kilometre affair with a single mandatory stop for at least two tyres.
The grids will be set by a three-part qualifying session on Saturday and then two rapid fire 10-minute sessions on Sunday.
The fast, flowing nature of The Bend will be a test for the ongoing parity issue as the Ford teams continue to grapple with the new aero package that debuted in Townsville.
Among the lead Camaro drivers, meanwhile, there is a thrilling title battle, with Brodie Kostecki still leading the series by just 41 points over teammate Will Brown.
NASCAR-bound Shane van Gisbergen is third, 54 points off the lead, while Broc Feeney is 67 points behind.
There are 315 points on offer across the weekend.
