NRM Information Avon NRM Strategy Supporting Documents

These are supporting documents to the NRM Strategy. They integrate information from a wide range of sources into an analytical sequence that allows targets and priority actions to be identified. These are required to ensure optimal investment of resources for biodiversity conservation and management, land resources and management response options and water monitoring and management.

While rural infrastructure is not a natural resource, the benefits of integrating management of infrastructure assets with management of natural resource assets are recognised.

The natural resource condition targets and priority actions that have been developed have formed the basis of the Avon NRM Strategy and the Avon Investment Plan projects for 2005/06 and 2006-08.

NRM Information Bioenergy Report (PDF document 1.1 MB)
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of some of the options for energy generation using farm forestry in the Avon catchment in WA. The WA Sustainable Energy Development Office recently commissioned a general review of bioenergy technologies and it was not the intention of this study to repeat that work. Instead, this study has sought to examine technologies that offer immediate or near term opportunities for the Avon. Enecon Pty Ltd and AVONGRO Wheatbelt Tree Cropping gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided for this study by the Sustainable Energy Development Office of Western Australia.
