Rocky on course for rowing and canoeing in 2032

Flatwater rowing and canoeing in Rockhampton for 2032 Games is progressing to the next phase of assessment with support from World Rowing and the International Canoe Federation.

The World Rowing and the International Canoe Federation support the move to the next phase of the design process for the Rockhampton Flatwater Facility in the lead up to the 2032 Games and beyond.

The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) is assessing two preferred Field of Play options ahead of independent Technical Analysis being finalised.

GIICA has commissioned an independent evaluation of the site’s technical capability to assess elements including river flow, water levels, wind and operational requirements, as well as Field of Play options to ensure they meet with international competition and Games standards.

No other venues are being considered, and completion of this phase has enabled planning to move forward, including more detailed design for infrastructure upgrades, venue overlays, operational requirements, legacy opportunities and venue capacity.
