    case study 21: the geographe bay region 2 Australia’s National Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities case study 21: the geographe bay region executive summary The Geographe Bay region, like many other Western Australian coastal areas, is facing the stress of excess nutrient loading to the coastal waterways and the adjacent marine ecosystem. Also like several other regions, the symptoms of this are the highly damaging toxic algal blooms that occur frequently in the fresh and estuarine waters of the region, and the major impacts for agriculture, tourism, public health and biodiversity. These issues were first recognised in the Geographe Bay region in the 1990s, and a community-led process was initiated to develop and implement an integrated catchment management plan designed to reduce nutrient inputs and restore environmental values to their former levels. The catchment management plan is now implemented by Geographe Catchment Council (GeoCatch), a small community-based organisation established for this purpose. The catchment management plan is a voluntary instrument designed to re-orient rural and urban management practices towards more desirable objectives through education and awareness raising, through demonstrated examples of best practice, and through promotion of specific measures for adoption by local and state government agencies. A large number of important strategies have been developed and implemented, and new strategies are being developed. However, although the catchment management plan provides for monitoring and evaluation to be conducted, there appear to be very few examples that demonstrate the success of the plan in facilitating improved catchment health (such as by reducing nutrient loading to rivers or the bay).

  • Rural Drainage Networks Vasse Taskforce | May 2015 |
    Government of Western Australia Department of Water Factsheet: 3 Rural drainage networks Vasse Taskforce | May 2015 | Major drainage works in the Geographe Catchment commenced in the 1880s when the Capel River was diverted away from the Wonnerup Estuary into Geographe Bay through the Higgins cut. Over the past 100 years drainage works including the construction of surge barriers on the Vasse and Wonnerup estuaries, a network of small drains to remove water from farmland, river diversions and a series of large arterial drains, including the Vasse diversion drain, were undertaken. This has significantly altered the hydrology of the catchment. The drainage system enabled farming on the coastal plain that was previously inundated during winter and protected the growing town of Busselton from flooding. The combined effect of catchment clearing and major drainage works, however, also substantially reduced the capacity of the catchment to retain sediment and nutrients, greatly increasing nutrients and organic matter entering catchment waterways and Geographe Bay. The Water Corporation is the lead asset manager for the rural drainage network and will work closely with the Department of Water, which will lead the implementation of projects to improve water quality in catchment waterways through improved management of the rural drainage network. Key initiatives include: • new catchment water, flood and landform model • feasibility study into reconnecting rivers • drainage management plan Project Spotlight New catchment water, flood and landform model A range of options for improving water quality in waterways in the Geographe catchment has been raised over a number of years. This project will develop a whole of catchment water model and develop an estuarine model for the Vasse estuary to assess the feasibility of these and new innovative options for changing water flow in the catchment.

A total of 311 sites in 19 major catchments along the south-west coast from Capel to Walpole, were sampled using a variety of methods. New data was collated with that from previous studies to generate 15 species distribution maps. Habitat and life history notes and recommendations for conservation are made for each species. Changes in fish distribution are also commented upon. This study contributes to series of documents published for the purposes of water allocation planning in the Busselton to Walpole Region. Other publications focus on the following topics: • Recreational Use on Waterbodies in the Busselton- Walpole Region • Report on an Investigation into the Aboriginal Significance of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton-Walpole Region. • Enviromnental Significance of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton- Walpole Region • Historical Association of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton- Walpole Region. • Divertible Water Resources Key Words Water Resources Planning, Freshwater Fish Distribution, Wetland and Rivers, Busselton to Walpole, Western Australia.

  • Water Flow and Flood Protection – Vasse Wonnerup Wetlands
    An initiative of the Vasse Geographe Strategy Factsheet Water flow and flood protection 5 Vasse–Wonnerup wetlands July 2015 Changing the flow of water has changed the ecosystem from estuarine into a fresh-brackish wetland system. Large areas of the wetlands now dry out every summer and autumn Images courtesy Department of Water The Vasse–Wonnerup wetlands are situated within an extensive, low-lying coastal depression. At the time of settlement, the Vasse–Wonnerup resembled a typical estuary of south western Australia with intermittently open sandbars and broad, shallow basins at the mouth of meandering rivers. Wonnerup Inlet opened into Geographe Bay through two channels, one of which closed in the early 1800s. The Vasse Estuary received direct water flows from the Abba, Sabina and Vasse rivers and indirectly from Iron Stone Gully, Buayanyup River and Carbunup River, via the Broadwater and New River. The Wonnerup Estuary received water from the Ludlow River and Capel River at its northern tip. Water flow into and out of the wetlands has been dramatically altered since European settlement. Land surrounding the wetlands was cleared for agricultural development by free settlers. Extensive engineering works began as early as the 1880s to alter water flow throughout the catchment. These allowed for the expansion of farming into coastal areas and the protection of the growing Busselton township from flooding.
