Foreshore Restoration Works at Rowland Reserve Bayview
$100,000
The north foreshore of Rowland Reserve, Bayview is exposed to long fetch wave corrosion. Over the past 15 years this foreshore area has eroded by approximately 20 metres resulting in increased sediment load into Pittwater estuary, lack of riparian edge on Pittwater of approximately 4,500 m2 and a reduction in deep water channels for recreational boating adjacent to the two regional boat ramps at Rowland Reserve, which are provided by Pittwater Council. Stabilisation of 150 lineal metres of badly eroded foreshore. The stabilisation will be achieved by regrading the existing batter, reclaiming eroded material where possible and armouring the batter with graded river stones and geotextile fabrics, Interspace endemic plant species into batter recreating estuarine foreshore vegetation which will include Juncus krausii. Recreate riparian zone of 750 m2 by replanting endemic plants, of all vegetation strata รข€“ low, mid and canopy species including salt marsh habitat(last updated 22 feb 2009)
