River Recovery Plans
In February 1999, the Water and Rivers Commission (now Department of Water)and the Avon River Management Authority jointly published the first of a series of River Recovery Plans for the Avon River.
For ease of management, the river was divided into 18 sections spanning approximately 191 kilometres. The first launched was section 3 in Toodyay, covering the area from Deepdale Road to the Goomalling (Connor) Bridge. The other Toodyay sections (1, 2 and 4) have since been published, as with all of the other 18 sections of the river. Each section was developed in a cooperative venture between the agency and a community reference group from within the area of the section. These constitute quite a unique series of publications, as there would be few major rivers in the world having management plans developed with such a strong community involvement.
Sections 1 and 2 (Avon Gorge - Avon Valley National Park - Deepdale)
Section 3 Deepdale Road to south-east of Connor Bridge in Toodyay.
Section 4 and 5 Connor Bridge to Northam Town Weir
Lower Avon Avon Valley National Park to Wooroloo Brook
The Recovery Plans for each of those sections are available from the Department of Water Swan Avon Region, Northam office. You can contact them at 254 Fitzgerald Street Northam 6401
