The NCA advises that two SolarBee destratification units will be relocated on Wednesday 14 November 2012.

The units are currently located at Yarralumla Beach and Molongo Reach.

The Yarralumla Beach unit will be moved approx 120 metres to the South West. The Molonglo Reach unit will be relocated to Weston Park East approx 20 metres from the swimming area buoy line.

The relocation of the destratification units is aimed at improving the water quality in these popular recreational areas of the Lake.

The Regatta Reverse Traffic Flow procedure dated 16/11/2011 will be in place throughout the Radford College regatta this Saturday 10th November. The presence of the Reverse Flow Gate indicates reverse flow is in place.

Weston Park Regatta Setup, Boating Arrangements and Safety Warnings

Due to low lake levels Weston Park will once again act as the alternative regatta hub. Regatta commentary will be broadcast in Weston Park as well as Lady Denman Drive. The First Aid facilities will be located in Weston Park.

Unfortunately, however, there will be construction underway in Weston Park for some time. To limit access to the construction site a fence has been erected along the line of the site. We have however made arrangements for a break on the fence to allow boating form Weston Park. Spectating is available from this section and through the fence. We acknowledge this is not ideal, and we ask for patients given the circumstances.

Please ensure you do not cross the fence line into the construction site.

Parking

Within Weston Park adequate spectator parking is available in the car park at the end of Pescott Lane. The access route will be sign posted from Weston Park road.

Weston Park trailer parking is available in the car park at the end of Pescott Lane (accessed via Pescott Lane). When entering Weston Park follow the regatta parking signs. Please insure you park trailers as close to the boat park as possible.

Weston Park Setup

Please ensure you do not setup or drive vehicles in the additional spectator area as there are irrigation pipelines below the surface. This area is north of the dirt path leading from the end of Pescott Land to the water’s edge.

Lady Denman Drive Parking

Please ensure those viewing from the finish area do not park illegally. Ample parking is available on Black Mountain Peninsular which is less than a 6 minute walk from the finish line.

Catering

A Café is located adjacent to the car park off Pescott Lane which will open at 8am and serve everything you would expect from a typical café.
