The Avon River has suffered a few set-backs over the past 50 years. The effects of sediment filling river pools following the River Training Scheme which was intended to reduce flooding is well known.
This plan outlines a strategic approval to river recovery. One key strategy was to segment the main channel of the Avon River into 18 sections for management.
This recovery plan is for Sections 11 and 12 which occur between the towns of York and Beverley in the south-west of Western Australia. Sections 11 and 12 have been dealt with in this one plan because of the similarities of stream condition and the relatively few landholders in these sections.
