The Dale River is a significant contributor of relatively fresh water to the Avon River.
In general, the Dale River South is degrading as a result of decades of agricultural land use. The majority of the river is accessible to stock and, compared with other assessed waterways such as the Dale River and Talbot Brook, has a low proportion of fencing.
The purpose of this assessment was to collect information on current condition, health, past and current management practices and disturbances relating to the Dale River South. This information provides landholders, community members and organisations with the information required to manage this waterway effectively.
