With the Australian University Championships coming up from the 9th – 13th September, Rowing ACT are developing plans to help ensure that all members of our community and our visiting universities are safe and supported when training and racing. With the universities predominantly being based out of Weston Park, we have determined that a reverse traffic flow on the regatta course will be the safest option for the week of competition. Therefore:
From 12:01am Monday 9th September, through till 11:59pm Friday 13th September, the following traffic pattern will be in place on the Regatta Course on Yarramundi Reach outside of competition hours:
As many would be aware, the Australian University Championships are being held in Canberra in September this year.
Rowing ACT will be responsible for the management of the Rowing event, and as part of this, we are seeking Expressions of Interest for a paid role as Competition Manager to support the Executive Officer and Officials during the competition week.
Interested individuals should send an email with their expression of interest to Kent Peters at president@rowingact.org.au
