ACT Rowers International rowers’ success

ACT rowers have been successful over the last several days with Angus Moore from Canberra University teaming with University of South Australia’s Nathan Bowden to win a bronze medal in the World University Games in Poznan, Poland.
Great racing against tough competition for Angus who is attempting to re-establish his International credentials.

In New Zealand Tyron Borman was part of a very successful Under 21 Australian team competing in the Trans-Tasman Rusty Robertson Trophy which Australia has won. Tyron was successful in being unbeaten in both the single and quad sculls against tough kiwi competition. A great result for Tyron and the Australian team which included ACT coach Renae Domaschenz.

In Rio ANU para athlete Kathryn Ross is part of a mixed double scull that is looking to row through the repecharge to compete for a medal on Sunday for a medal in the Rio Para Olympics.

Lake Burley Griffin closed to primary contact

Lake Users,

The National Capital Authority (NCA) wishes to advise the community and Lake Burley Griffin (the Lake) recreational users that the Lake is closed to swimming and full emersion activities. This follows advice from the ACT Environmental Protection Agency that the Queanbeyan Sewage Treatment Plant has gone into diversion mode, resulting in the heavy rainfall inflows exceeding normal operational capacity.

Warning signs have been erected around the Lake and sporting groups notified. The risk to human health is low due to a high dilution rate from recent rains, but precautionary measures are being undertaken. Further measures, including washing your skin with water and soap after contact is encouraged.

Currently, the duration of this closure is unknown but the NCA do expect to keep the Lake closed for approximately a week at this stage, ending 9 September 2016.

WHAT: Lake Burley Griffin closed to primary contact

WHERE: All of Lake Burley Griffin

WHEN: Saturday, 3 – 9 September 2016. Further closures to be advised.
