SummaryThis project will attempt to reduce significant erosion along an outer bank of the Brisbane River at Harlin through in-stream works to encourage base flows along an existing vegetated mid-stream channel. The proposed works involve the realignment of a large log to re-open the former channel and movement of in-stream material to ‘train’ base flows through a more stable channel and reinforce the current outer channel.
The proposed in-stream works will be carried out by an experienced local contractor and have been authorised by DERM under a Riparian Protection Permit. The site has been inspected and the design recommended by DERM technical officers and SEQ Catchments Soil Conservation Officer. These works are an attempt to demonstrate a low cost river ‘training’ exercise to accelerate natural processes along an existing channel to a more stable form. The resultant form will reduce pressure on the outer bank from constant base flows and prevent further erosion and impacts on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Benefits
