Scrivener Dam Extended Exclusion Zone – KEEP OUT!

The National Capital Authority (NCA) have received reports that rowers have recently been sighted inside the extended exclusion zone above Scrivener Dam. I.e. between the second buoy line and the dam. The extended exclusion zone continues in place to ensure public safety. Despite the NCA’s confidence in the dam, evident following their decision to lift the lake level, the extended exclusion zone remains in force until the Scrivener Dam Anchor Bolt Project work is completed. This project is due to finish in March 2014. Once this work is completed the NCA have advised that the second buoy line and exclusion zone signs will be removed.

No lake users are to access the extended exclusion zone at any time.

A Reminder on Coaching Boat Etiquette

A reminder to all coaches using tinnies that we need to be aware of other unpowered craft (e.g. rowers and canoeists) on the lake and follow these guidelines when coaching from a tinnie:

  • Tinnie drivers to show reasonable courtesy to users of unpowered craft (e.g. rowers and canoeists);
  • Drivers to cut wash when passing unpowered craft travelling in the opposite direction. When traveling in the opposite direction this is to be done in advance of passing unpowered craft to ensure wash created does not roll onto the unpowered craft;
  • When a moving tinnie is being approached from behind by a faster unpowered craft, cut wash to allow the faster unpowered craft to pass;
  • Where possible minimise tinnie wash in East and Central Basin is the hard walls allow wash to impact crews for some time;
  • Minimise tinnie wash on Yarramundi Reach when travelling South towards the start line;
  • A tinnie may keep pace with crews being coached/timed travelling North on Yarramundi Reach towards the finish line. However such drivers are to make a reasonable effort to minimise the impact of wash on unpowered craft using the course.
    • When safe to do so it is recommend that tinnie drivers proceeding from finish to start on the rowing course do so close to the center of the course. This allows drivers to cut power and minimise wash accurately. Precautions need to be taken to avoid passing unpowered craft within close proximity.
    • During regattas BRO boats will proceed from finish to start at high speed then slow to an idle approximately 300m before an oncoming race. Drivers will then make a 90 degree turn and exit the course at idle.
    • Clubs and schools are asked to ensure their tinnie operators are suitable trained and skilled to handle and operate tinnies in such a way.

Caution: Rowing Course Change of Traffic Flow Tuesday 29 October

Tomorrow, Tuesday 29th October, the AIS Rowing Program will be conducting a six lane training session as a part of a women’s training camp currently being held in the ACT. This will include the temporary relocation of lane 2 closure buoys to allow the use of Lane 2 on the rowing course.

The buoys will be moved at 8:30am and replaced following the session. During this time rowers will be proceeding from start to finish within lane 2 on the course. Standard training traffic flow will continue throughout this time. It is recommended that rowers consider using alternate areas of the lake during this time however the course will not be closed.

If in the event you require access you are asked to follow standard traffic flow except when proceeding from finish to start. In this case it is recommend you proceed from finish to start outside of the course and then when required to use lane 1 through the narrows do not do so until lane 2 is clear to the start line.

There will be a marshal managing traffic at the finish line throughout this time.
