About the project

The Canberra Rowing Club needs a new home! The boat shed is the beating heart of any rowing club and the Canberra Rowing Club boat shed is no exception. Our well-worn walkways, walls and ceilings stacked with boats and oars and busy morning manoeuvres are testament to our club’s ability to attract and retain members and have seen many years of success and accomplishment in the 40 years that we have been located in Yarralumla Bay. We have now reached a critical milestone in our history – it’s time to redevelop our boat shed to ensure that the next 40 years can accommodate our growing member base, our growing fleet and also offer all members and the community, a safe, functional and modern facility. To achieve our vision to be a leading community rowing club in Australia in terms of support, participation and performance across a diverse group of rowers, we need a new facility. Importantly – the club needs your help to see this project come to life.

We are currently just $300,000 short of our target. To help hit our target of $1.3m, we’re asking for your help in the form of donations. You select one of the following:

Buy a Brick* - $1000 (*may not be an actual brick, final design to determine)

First 8 – $10,000

First 4 – $25,000

Or donate an amount of your choice.

Every dollar gets us closer to our target!

By making a tax deductible donation to this project today you will be helping current and future members row out of the best facilities on the lake and you will have played an important part of our club’s rich history.
