Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

This reach is located at France Farm and is 907m in length. The reach includes France Farm hatch, which consist of 2 hatch boards (recently replaced), and causes a major barrier to fish migration and the impoundment extends upstream for around 1km. There is also a stocked fishing pond which is maintained by an offtake from the impounded upstream river. The project involved lowering the level of an existing online pond which allowed for the full and permenant opening of all the hatches on the main river. The proposed works on the main river upstream of the structre will be delayed until observations of any geomorphological change on the river.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

No monitoring was undertaken. Observation of morphological change upstream of the opened hatches to determine level of future in channel works required.
