Show Notes
World Rowing and International Canoe Federation back Rockhamptons Fitzroy River for 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, despite concerns about bends, currents, flooding risks, and crocodiles. Queensland government evaluates two course layouts, with a full two-kilometer competition stretch and southern finish line near the Fitzroy Barrage as the top choice. Australian rowers have trained there successfully, and key figures praise the collaborative effort. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie confirms no other locations are on the table, allowing teams to push ahead with designs for upgrades, operations, and legacy features. This progress locks in a world-class setup for Rockhampton, funded within the seven point one billion dollar agreement between state and federal governments.
