NCA update on Yarramundi Bouyed Course
Status update for the Yarramundi Reach Rowing Course is as follows;
All works that can be executed in Tasmania are now complete. Minor maintenance and additional anchors have been completed over the last week and all parts are now being packed for Transportation to the mainland.
The booking for the Ferry from Tasmania to Melbourne still stands and all materials & tools will be loaded on and ferried across to Melbourne, leaving Tasmania on the 30/10/11. Ian and his team will also travel over at this time as well.
The materials will then be transported to Canberra by Ian, and on the way he will also pick up the remainder of the buoys from Northern Victoria.
Ian will arrive in Canberra on the 2/11/11 to commence the installation. Pending that there are no issues onsite, in discussions with Ian all works will be complete by the 10/11/11.
In discussions with David from Rowing ACT, concern had been raised that the installation works will impact on planned events on the Lake such as Dragon Boat Regattas and Rowing Events. Confirmation on these concerns was sought with Ian and it was stated that the majority of these works will be conducted from the shore, and when works are required to be conducted on the Lake it is easily programmed in order to ensure zero disruption to all Lake users and planned events.
