E.6.1
Employ a river keeper or other paid worker
to maintain and restore vegetation in riparian zones
E.6.2 E.6.3 M.6.1
Conduct a riparian Concentrate revegetation and restoration Implement the Lower
vegetation assessment efforts in priority areas identified in E.6.2 Wallamba River rivercare plan
It is preferable (but not essential – indicated by the dashed lines here) that a river keeper be employed (action
E.6.1) to coordinate efforts to assess (E.6.2) and revegetate/restore (E.6.3) riparian vegetation and to implement

C.4.1
Develop best practice guidelines
for human-dolphin interactions
C.4.2
Consider erecting signage summarising boat
operator guidelines developed in C.4.1 for
when dolphins are encountered
Best practice guidelines for human-dolphin interactions, including persons in water and in powered vessels (action
C.4.1), need to be developed and adopted prior to their communication via signage at major boat ramps (action
C.4.2).
S.1.1
Conduct a contour study of
the island/entrance area
S.1.2
Prepare an REF/EIS and conduct
urgent dredging operations
It is important that an initial contour study of the lake (action S.1.1) be conducted prior to any dredging operations
(action S.1.2) so that the rate of infilling can be monitored for future planning and cost/benefit analyses.
S.2.1
Assess stormwater drains
for impacts of sediment build-up
S.2.2
Dredge or excavate sediment build-up
at stormwater drains identified in S.2.1
Stormwater drains must be assessed and prioritised (action S.2.1) prior to dredging or excavation works (action
S.2.2) to remove excess sediment build-up that is impacting upon aquatic habitat.
