Lower Avon river recovery plan - Incorporating foreshore and channel assessment

Technical Report
The foreshore and channel survey combined with the recovery plan for the Lower Avon river section was initiated for continuity between the recovery planning processes for the Avon River and its major tributaries and management of the Swan River estuary.

A key issue of concern has been the transport of sediment from the Avon River to the upper reaches of the Swan River.

Significant river pools within the Shire of Toodyay are continuing to fill with sediment. This indicates the potential for significant future sediment deposition, particularly in river pools within Walyunga National Park.
