The objectives of the plan are to:
- establish a vision for the river, which is to be achieved by implementing this plan along with other urban and broader catchment management programs in York and surrounding districts
- identify the key issues which need to be better managed to assist recovery of the river
- develop practical local strategies which will guide recovery and rivercare action in and along York's Avon River
- rank actions, so as to help decision-making, budgeting and resource allocation
- describe how it is intended that the plan be implemented, including the on-going involvement of the York community in rivercare work.
