Rowing Victoria's weekly featured athlete - Eric Waller

Eric has served as President of the Ballarat Rowing Association since 1984 and has been responsible for intiating many improvements at Lake Wendouree including the lengthening and widening of the rowing course, the building of a judges box, creating several buoying systems over the years and purchasing the current buoying system.

He has been an advocate for the City of Ballarat to undertake significant works at Lake Wendouree following years of severe drought. This significant investment has brought the old 1956 Olympic course up to modern standards and restored its use for the community of Ballarat. Waller introduced the requirement of life saving support at all Rowing Victoria regattas, which has been adopted by Rowing Australia and many other achievements that can be found here.

The Victorian Olympic Council highlighted Waller's international contributions  - boat race official at 1990 World Rowing Championships in Tasmania; technical officer and boat race official at 2000 Sydney Olympic Games; boat race official at 2002 Masters Games Regatta at Lake Wendouree; and technical officer and race official  at 2014 World FISA Masters in Ballarat.
