The Hunter River estuary suffers its fair share of river bank erosion. The resilience of the river banks is not what it used to be, with a range of culprits including past river management practices, stock grazing, tidal action, wind and boat wave pressure and periodic flooding.
The area showcases a range of bank stabilisation approaches used over time. The traditional ‘hard engineering’ methods have more recently given way to ‘softer’ bank stabilisation techniques, which mimic natural features and processes. Soft options provide improved environmental outcomes, such as aquatic habitat features and are often a cheaper alternative to hard engineered solutions.
This video showcases a case study in the use of hard wood native timber logs to protect the river bank toe, with the ultimate goal of letting native vegetation do what it does best - provide a stable river bank. Hunter Local Land Services, Soil Conservation Services and the private landholders have been managing the project to rehabilitate a 700 metre section of the Hunter River bank at Millers Forest. The project has successfully developed new construction methods to produce a healthier patch of river bank.
