Derwent Valley Boat Club (DVBC) is a community-based project to establish a new centre and focus for aquatic leisure and sport. DVBC will take advantage of the superb Derwent River at New Norfolk, and will incorporate relocation of New Norfolk Rowing Club (NNRC) from its current unsafe location on Boyer Road which is used by heavy vehicles. NNRC will relocate to the Esplanade side of the river to improve safety and amenity for all users. DVBC will encourage increased participation in sport and physical activity and will promote health awareness across all community sectors. Establishment of DVBC has a long-term focus on provision of vital community rowing and other facilities, support and leisure services for a growing outer-urban community.
