  • Hunter-Central Rivers Region 0 25 50 75 Km
    State of the catchments 2010 Riverine ecosystems Hunter–Central Rivers region State Plan target By 2015 there is an improvement in the condition of riverine ecosystems. Background The Hunter–Central Rivers region covers 37,000 km2 of the east coast of New South Wales; from Taree in the north, to Gosford and the coastal waterways of the Central Coast in the south, and from Newcastle in the east to the Merriwa Plateau and Great Dividing Range in the west (Figure 1). The region’s major waterways are the Manning, Karuah and Hunter rivers and the coastal waterways of Wallis Lake, Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie, Tuggerah Lake and Brisbane Water. The Manning River ows over a length of 250 km and its tributaries rise immediately north of and within Barrington Tops at an altitude of 1400 to 1500 m above sea level. The major tributaries of the Manning catchment are the Barnard and Nowendoc rivers, rising in the northern part of the valley, and the Barrington and Gloucester rivers, rising in the southern highland areas. The Barrington and Gloucester rivers ow in a north-easterly direction and the Barnard River in an easterly direction through alluvial valleys before entering the Manning River. In the lower reaches, the river is tidal and is often saline to Abbotts Falls near Wingham. A detailed technical report describes the methods used to derive the information contained in this report. At the time of publication of the State of the catchments (SOC) 2010 reports, the technical reports were being prepared for public release. When complete, they will be available on the NOW website: www.water.nsw.gov.au.
