Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River is officially approved to host the Olympic and Paralympic rowing events. Local media report that the decision gives the venue the go-ahead for the international competitions.

The coverage notes that the approval applies to both Olympic and Paralympic rowing, meaning the river is set to be used for the events across both Games. While the outlets share the same core announcement, they provide limited additional detail beyond the confirmation.

All three reports frame the development as a key step in venue planning for the Games in Rockhampton, but they do not expand on timelines, specific preparations, or any conditions attached to the approval.
