Rockhampton's Olympic rowing venue faces upgrade debate

Queensland's Fitzroy River in Rockhampton requires major upgrades, including widening and dredging, to meet international standards for the 2032 Olympic rowing venue. The proposed upgrades carry an estimated cost of half a billion dollars, with early testing showing promise but concerns remaining about compliance with international requirements. Alternative venues are under consideration as debate continues about the investment, which includes legacy projects for accommodation and housing infrastructure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
