Current Status

GIICA is working with our Games Delivery Partners to progress preliminary planning and feasibility activities, before the project can progress into Project Validation Report stage. 

Upgrades to the existing Fitzroy River course are proposed to be delivered to host rowing, Para rowing, canoe sprint and Para canoe events for the Games, as well as to provide a community legacy for future generations.  

The facility currently supports training, local regattas, and state championships, as well as serving as a national team training camp. 

Planned upgrades may include enhanced permanent infrastructure and amenities, supporting regional grass roots sporting opportunities for the surrounding community. 

A new athlete village is also proposed to be built within the Rockhampton Railyards precinct.  

Games use 

Fitzroy River has been earmarked to host Olympic rowing and canoe sprint events, and Para rowing and Para Canoe events.
