Supporting Maroochy River Rowing Club isn’t just about backing a sport—it’s about investing in the confidence, resilience, and ambition of young people right here on the Sunshine Coast.

What this club is achieving with limited resources is extraordinary. They’re building a future where local kids can go from their first strokes on the Maroochy River to representing Queensland—and even Australia. I’m proud to support them and encourage others to do the same.

As Minister for Sport and the Olympics, I’m always encouraged to see grassroots clubs playing such an active role in shaping the future of Australian sport.

Maroochy River Rowing Club’s commitment to nurturing young talent and inspiring the next generation of Olympians is exactly the kind of vision that builds strong communities and champions our sporting future.

While I haven’t yet had the chance to visit the club in person, it’s clear they’re making a meaningful impact—both on and off the water. I applaud their dedication and look forward to seeing their young athletes thrive.

I’ve spent a lifetime involved in surf lifesaving and community sport on the Sunshine Coast, and it’s been incredibly refreshing to see the direction Maroochy River Rowing Club is heading.

There’s a real spark in the way they’re approaching things—growing the club thoughtfully, creating genuine opportunities for young people, and building strong connections across the community. Their vision for the future is bold but grounded in the kind of values that make clubs like this thrive: inclusion, integrity, and a relentless passion for helping young athletes reach their potential. Clubs with an approach to the youths of today can only be a positive step forward in creating a better future.

What’s most impressive is how they’re combining long-term planning with grassroots spirit. From the water to the wider community, the momentum they’ve created is something to be admired.

Maroochy River Rowing Club is one to watch, and I’m proud to support what they’re building.
