REGATTA VENUE
The Sydney International Regatta Centre was purpose built for the rowing and canoeing events in the 2000 Sydney
Olympic Games and remains a magnificent legacy of that event for our sport. The course provides a constant 5
metre depth over 9 competition lanes, with rock-lined, wave absorbing banks designed to promote the best possible
conditions for competition. The Centre provides a 1500 metre warm up and cool down facility adjacent to the
racing course. A 1,000 seat grandstand provides spectacular views over the rowing course and, together with
adjacent embankments and seating on the southern side of the course will accommodate more than 30,000
spectators.
THE VENUE
The City of Penrith is located approximately 60 kms west of the Sydney CBD and situated on the Nepean River and
the foothills of the famous Blue Mountains.
TRAVEL
Penrith is easily reached by road via the Great Western Highway or the Western Freeway from the Sydney CBD as
well as the Freeway network when travelling from the south or north. Those competitors travelling by air can
access trains from the airport to Sydney Central and then on to Penrith.
A shuttle bus will operate between Penrith Railway Station and the venue throughout the regatta.
