The decision systems will help catchment management organisations to prioritise their natural resource management activities by quantifying the ecological benefits of alternative strategies, and will provide specific guidance on how to implement those solutions at a reach scale.

Key outputs

  • The Catchment Planning Tool is designed to allow the prioritisation of natural resource management activities on a whole of catchment basis.
  • The Asset Prioritisation Tool will allow the identification of high value ecological assets at a catchment or broader scale.
  • The Restoration Prioritisation Tool will allow stream managers to design reach-specific restoration solutions.
