Boat Trailer Access

There are a few different areas that clubs can boat from. The most popular is the city (start line), meaning crews row back to the city after the presentations at the conclusion of the race. Alternatively there is the Powerhouse / Wesley area near Herring Island which is about mid way along the course, or Hawthorn Rowing Club precinct (finish line). Clubs that park their trailer in the Hawthorn Rowing Club precinct must move their trailer out of the area by 7pm on the Friday before race day. Clubs are advised that the River is closed in 2007 from 7.30am on race day, so it is recommended that all crews rowing to the city from alternative stagings aim to arrive in the city before 7.30am.

City (Start line) boat trailer access:

IF YOU REQUIRE BOAT TRAILER ACCESS IN THE CITY please advise by email to hoy-enq@hawthornrowingclub.com no later than Wednesday prior to race day.

Access for pre-arranged Club Boat Trailers will be permitted from 6.30am to 8am on race day. This is a strict requirement by Melbourne City Council. A Marshall will be on duty at the entry to the City Boat Sheds area. Parking Officers will also be on duty. This access is only to unload boats, and not to park the trailer.

Hawthorn Rowing Club / Finish line access:

As a courtesy please also notify by email to hoy-enq@hawthornrowingclub.com no later than Wednesday prior to race day of your intention to bring your trailer into this vicinity. Clubs that park their trailer in the Hawthorn Rowing Club precinct must move their trailer out of the area by 7pm on the Friday before race day.

On race day only, trailers may be parked in Creswick st (between Bridge and Denham) subject to availability.  This road is specifically closed for trailer parking on the day. (Road is closed until 6pm).
