Technical Report
River recovery plan for the Avon River between Spencers Brook Bridge and Northam Town Weir.
Last updated:

The river recovery plan focuses on the main trunk of the river. It does not address in any detail management of the tributaries or management of the river catchment.

The objectives of the plan for this river section are:

  • to encourage greater understanding of the river as a functioning ecological system
  • to protect and substantially improve the ecological condition of the river
  • to improve the recreational amenity of the river
  • to minimise ecological impacts of land use and development on the river.
