The Australian Masters Rowing Championships will return to Lake Burley Griffin for the first time in more than a decade under a partnership between the ACT Government and Rowing Australia.

The event is expected to attract more than 3300 visitors, who are forecast to stay an average of seven nights and contribute an estimated $5.5 million to the ACT economy through spending on accommodation, hospitality and tourism.

Further details, including the dates and competition program, will be announced later.
