Explained in plain English

Why are crocodiles not a factor?

While the presence of 500 crocodiles in the Fitzroy River is certainly notable, the technical assessment specifically focused on water conditions and flood risk, not wildlife. It's likely that wildlife management and athlete safety protocols would be handled by local authorities and event organisers, rather than being part of the initial venue suitability review by sports federations.
